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 Fort Latham Cemetery, in use from 1861 to 1873, is now at the Linn Grove Cemetery but within wrought iron fencing to maintain it as an individual cemetery. It was first moved for the construction of Hwy 34 east of Greeley to an area north of the highway and east of the South Platte River bridge. It was moved again several years ago to the more protected area at Linn Grove.

Fort Latham was a stage station at the junction of the Denver and California Overland Stage routes from 1859 to 1870. It was also used as a safe haven by the settlers during Indian wars during the 1860's and the "100 Day Volunteers" trained at Fort Latham in 1864.

Between 1864 and 1870 Fort Latham was a thriving community with a U.S. Post Office, a school and a store. Between 1865 and 1876 Fort Latham was the county seat of Weld County, part of the Colorado Territory.
