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.

Capital City is located 10 miles from Lake City at the forks of Henson Creek, started as Galena City or Silver Glen in the spring of 1876. The Capital City Cemetery was started in the late 1870's as a convenient burial ground for residents of Capital City and the upper Henson Creek region. Existing burial records seem to low, and it is probable that many burials went unrecorded. The cemetery is located on Forest Service property on a heavily wooded hillside to the west of the original townsite. The cemetery originally contained a number of elaborate memorials and wooden fences, since 1960, however, souvenir hunters have carried off almost all traces of the old cemetery. As of 1985, only a few fence fragments and an occasional depression mark the location of the Capital City Cemetery.

Junction of county road 20 and 24.

This information and the burial records are from the book Cemeteries of Hinsdale County, 1874-1995 by Grant E. Houston.
