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 & the almshouse facilities were owned by Christian County, Illinois, & were in existence at least as early as 1870. Located in rural Owaneco, Rosemond Township, Christian County, Illinois. It housed paupers of various ages, including some with illnesses & mental issues. At the times of their deaths, most "inmates" were buried on the property, at the expense of the county. This unmarked cemetery is located on privately-owned property.
