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 Bemis Cemetery is located in Township 3, Range 16, Section 1 in Hiawatha Township, Brown County, Kansas. From the west edge of Hiawatha it is 1 ½ miles South of 220th Street on Kestrel Road and then ¼ mile west of Kestral Road in a field.

Also known as the Poor Farm Cemetery, it sets about ¼ miles south and slightly east of the old Brown County Poor Farm. Now owned by the Aller family (2005), an occasional reference is made to the Aller Cemetery.

An unknown number of tombstones have been vandalized, destroyed, buried or removed. The cemetery is not maintained and is overgrown with grass, weeds and brush. As of 2005, eight tombstones were still visible, and are documented here.
