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.

PAHIATUA (meaning "The Home of the Gods) was founded by who is buried in Mangatainoka with family members. Some of his children are buried here

The first burial here was that of Matilda Jane Thomas on the 5th October 1895
thank you to Wendy on how this cemetery came to be ... "someone died at Ballance but they couldn't ford the Manawatu River to get the body into Pahiatua (Mangatainoka) as it was in flood and there was no bridge or punt back then. They called a quick meeting and decided they needed to have a burial place for this person on the Ballance side of the Manawatu River. A farmer gifted the township a plot of land and they buried the person at the now Mangahao-Ballance Cemetery"

As at September 2010 there were:
- 231 BURIALS in this cemetery and

Terence Patrick Ness - killed in France 1917
