West Meadows Cemetery, located on English Settlement Avenue/County Road J in Rochester, is one of two pauper's cemeteries in Racine County. The other is East Meadows Cemetery in Racine. This cemetery was a burial place for those who could not afford burial elsewhere, as well those who were unclaimed by their families. It is owned and maintained by the county, which also has records of many of the burials. There are 14 blank wooden markers in the cemetery, but there are many more unmarked graves. In July 1971, about 40 bodies were moved to West Meadows Cemetery from East Meadows Cemetery due to road expansion. The last burial was in 1976.
