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.

Whelan Cemetery north of Pullman is a 132-year-old pioneer cemetery that has been left untouched for years. As a result, it has become home to approximately 100 species of plants.The four acres caught the eye of the Palouse Prairie Foundation.

According to the foundation, the cemetery was established by Christopher Columbus Branham after he came to the Palouse with plans to start a town northeast of Pullman. However, he died in 1888 before his plans became a reality. It is unclear how many people were buried there, but the last burial took place in 1946. The cemetery was abandoned after that.
