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.

(Defunct)
Lafayette, Indiana was platted in 1825. The first burial ground for Lafayette was on Clark (now 9th) and North street. (1825-1842)

Burials were moved sometime in 1863-64 to reuse the land. This is now the St. Boniface Catholic church today.
Many tombstones were moved to Greenbush cemetery. But the records do not start until 1843. The books have been lost for this cemetery. Many people have records of coffins for burials. The (TIPCOA) Tippecanoe County Genealogy Society will attempt to list those people we find with some sort of record.

FYI; THERE ARE NO TOMBSTONES for these people. Please do not request photographs
