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.

This cemetery is located a few miles south of Highland, Wisconsin, and a bit southeast of Centerville Post Office, Iowa County, Wisconsin which existed in the mid to late 1800's. Centerville was a mining town at one time, with numerous businesses and a population of a few hundred people. Located in close proximity, Centerville lost out to Highland and it became a ghost town. Nothing exists now in 2016 with the exception of a couple houses, one which may have been a hotel or boarding house.

Oral history says there are 96 burials here, though no headstones are known to exist. It is thought numerous burials took place in a relatively short period of time, perhaps victims of an epidemic like cholera, and thus the cemetery was established a distance from Centerville. Historians are trying to locate information about this cemetery and the burials.

This cemetery is located in the pasture on a farm north of Highland. Oral history indicates long ago the land owner removed all the tombstones. According to oral history, 20-30 people are buried here, many of them died of cholera.
