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 is located in Wingfield Twp. [Sect. 1?] at the peak of a steep hill. The site was supposedly chosen by Catherine McDonough Briggs "because she desired to buried in a place where the land would not soon be broken by a plow." Junction City Union, Jan. 9, 1933. There are believed to be 6 burials. The graves were recorded by Mary Tully, Chuck and Sarah Olmstead. Then later by Volunteers from the Geary County Historical Society Family Researchers on 29 Nov 1995.
