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 cemetery was located at a site that is now just to the right of the main entrance of the Van Nuys Medical Center directly under the building edge, which is next to the original location of the Isaac Wilson Homestead.

This cemetery was first named the Plague Cemetery, because of the victims of the 1821 summer outbreak. It was later named the Patterson Cemetery after the Patterson family. In 1947, this cemetery was marked by a boulder and was about 100 feet directly north of the west end of the Medical Building [Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Campus] and about 100 yards due east of the State Board of Health Building. The early memorials were made of marble. There aren't any remaining markers on the site. References: "History of the Medical Campus" by Dr. Thurman B. Rice and Patterson Cemetery CR124, Marion County, Indiana @ Genealogy Society of Marion County. Location: Michigan St. 860 W.
