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.

doormat: Mission Ridge Baptist Church
before annexed into Chattanooga, area was known as Hornville and Eastdale.

The church was closed in the -late- 20th century.
The current owner, Robert Edwards (white), said that the church was intentionally burnt twice by whites to intimidate the blacks into moving. They didn't move, they rebuilt - you can see the charred timber under the plasterboard.
