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 New Idria community was established in support of the mercury mining operation which began about 1854. Mercury is used in the extraction of gold and was much needed during the California gold rush. At its peak, the New Idria Mining Company employed more than 750 men. Many families lived in and around the town site, and at various nearby mining camps. The New Idria public school and a small church opened in 1867, postal mail ran once a week between San Juan, New Idria and Picacho and the stage ran twice per week. By 1880 the area's surrounding population is estimated at about 4,000 people. It was a thriving and close community. It is said there were actually three cemeteries in the area and the locals took great care in the resting place of their families. Those graves and the cemetery locations are now lost as neglect and vandalism occurred when the mining operations declined and the town closed in the 1970's. Those loved ones are remembered here now.
