About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The cemetery is located toward the rear of Asbury United Methodist Church Cemetery, and can be accessed from Bill Gaylon Lane, south of Asbury Avenue. It is set deep in the woods and has a large number of burials dating from 1880 to modern day, including many veterans.

Central to the historic African-American community of Freemantown, this burial ground was associated with the old Union Asbury Church, erected near here in the decade following the Civil War. As the membership grew, the church relocated and built a larger facility at the corner of Main Street Extended and Freemantown Road, still standing today.

Once in extreme disrepair, this cemetery is currently being restored with the help of the community. 03-18-2018
