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.

Wells Springs was a stop on the Oregon Trail. It is not known how many emigrants are buried here. Only two names are known: Robert Evans Williams & Dorothy Kane. In the 1920's there were only 13 graves that were visible. They were lined in a row and marked by wood head-markers. No trace of them can be seen in 2007.

Also, on this spot on March 24, 1848, Colonel Cornelius Gilliam was killed when his gun entangled in some ropes, fired, and killed him instantly. Some historical accounts say he is buried here but newer research states his body was returned to his family in Polk County, Oregon, for burial.
