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 Ward Cemetery was established in 1852 when Samuel Ward donated the land. The occasion of the first burial was that of Mrs. Emma Scroggin, a lady from England who was visiting the Ward Family. When her death occurred, while she was in America, transportation to her homeland was virtually impossible, so she was buried in a spot under the trees along Thunder Creek, as she had loved the trees and the cool shade. Since that time, land has been added and Ward Cemetery is one of the prettiest cemeteries in the County.
