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 Carson family was from Ireland, and first came to Platte County in 1846 (in the midst of the Potato Famine). Members of the Carson family owned this property from 1851-1883. John H. Carson brought his family, parents, and a single woman who was likely his sister. He sold Bibles for the Tract Society, and according to Paxton's Annals of Platte County, he fell dead while delivering a Bible to a purchaser, with the half-uttered sentence, "I must do all the good I can while---." Members of the Carson, Prather/Prater, Brill (all related) and Rambo families are all buried in this cemetery. There is no known relationship to the Rambo family. There are 18 known graves and 16 headstones, as well as numerous footstones.
