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.

This cemetery is located in Twp 18N Range 6W Section 17. GPS coordinates for the stones, which have been moved from their original location, are N 40 Deg. 00.403 Min./ W 089 Deg. 48.250 Min., elevation 596 feet. There was originally a small church located here named Baker's Prairie Church (Baptist), hence the name of the cemetery. The stones are in the back yard of a house at 114 Tice Road. The stones have been moved from their original location to a row/pile near the fence on the east side of the back yard. It is unknown whether the original location was in the yard or actually under the house. The house is located one tenth mile east of the intersection of Tice Road and Wernowsky Road, 1.4 miles S. of Rt. 123 on Tice Road. The cemetery has been completely despoiled.
