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.

A.K.A. Hewesburg Cemetery. Originlly five of the Hewes family were buried here but four have been moved to Crete Congregational Cemetery. The one remaining is Sallie Hewes Cole. The Stone is laid flat and buried in the NE corner of the racetrack infield where the group of trees are, north side of the smaller eastern pond. Unfortunately, this little cemetery was never marked with a fence. Around 1967, when the track was shortened, the cemetery was "lost". The plat maps show it located on the south side of the section line between sections 28 & 21. This section line is Old Mud Road/263rd to the east and W. Olendorf Road to the west. The 1873 plat map shows Samuel Hewes as owner with the cemetery along the north boundary line of his farm.
