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 (also known as St. Lucas Cemetery) is located near the southwestern edge of the Village of Plain on Old Highway 23. The plat map location is NE 1/4 SW 1/4 Section 7 T9N R4E in Franklin Township, Sauk County, Wisconsin.

The land for this cemetery was donated by George Neuheisel to Saint Luke's Catholic Church around 1865. A new cemetery (located behind St. Luke's church) was started in April 1918, though some burials were still allowed in the "old" cemetery beyond that date. Beginning in 2009, a restoration project began in which most of the tombstones and markers were repaired with new engravings, iron crosses were repainted, and markers were straightened.
