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.

"This is not the site of the original burials. The original site has been destroyed by floods over the years and the flow of the [Missouri] river had changed. In 1993 there was the "Great Flood" and Washington University of St Louis MO removed the markers for safe keeping until after the flood. The markers were returned except for Katharine L Albrecht, John Albrecht, Louis Bayer and Witte. There was a marker found after the flood, hand carved, with the inscription of M.S. 1831."
