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.

St. Lawrence cemetery existed between 18th and 20th streets, and Maine and Hampshire streets, in Quincy, Adams county, Illinois. The land was purchased by Timothy Kelly and donated, but not deeded, to the local church in 1839.

The last remains were interred there in 1873. In 1873, then-mayor E. H. Turner ordered a street to extend through the existing cemetery. This caused controversy. The cemetery grew over with weeds and brush in the meantime.

Eventually, the brush was cleared, the land sold, and houses built atop the cemetery. Not all remains were moved.
