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.

July 4, 2009: When looking for Quartzburg at Google.com, I found several sites that state that Quartzburg is no longer in existence and only the Quartzburg Cemetery remains. According to other writings online, the cemetery is surrounded by a rock wall. Maps.Google.com lists Quartzburg as "near Hornitos". Since I could not add the Quartzburg Cemetery to Findagrave without choosing a city and since Quartzburg isn't listed as a choice, I chose Hornitos, since it is closeby. If anyone has any further information on the Quartzburg Cemetery, please let me know and I will add it to this description.

Per Wikipedia: "Quartzburg (earlier, Burns' Creek, Burns' Camp, Burns' Ranch, and Burns' Diggings) is a former settlement in Mariposa County, California. It was located on Burns Creek 2 miles (3.2 km) upstream from Hornitos.

John and Robert Burns settled at the site in 1847. A mining camp grew up. A post office operated at Quartzburg from 1851 to 1861. The name "Quartzburg" was bestowed by Thomas Thorn due to the quartz outcroppings at the place."
