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.

As the name suggests, this cemetery contains several unmarked graves. Local legend indicates that the county-home staff or residents would bury their dead on the Poor Farm property. Wabash County erected one large memorial at the corner of the property. The lone tombstone of Jonathan Waterhouse stands beside this memorial.
