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 cemetery was located in the southwest corner of the intersection of 19th Street and Florida Avenue. The cemetery was originally begun in the 1700's as a family cemetery of the Holmead family. In 1807, the government assumed control of the cemetery. The cemetery was closed to additional burials in 1870. Subsequently, most bodies were removed to other cemeteries.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature ID for the cemetery is 530626 (Holmeads Cemetery / Holmead Burying Ground / Western Burying Ground).
