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.

Graveyard Hill is currently referred to also as Reservoir Hill because the city's water supply is contained in a large tank atop the Hill. Photo of the area was provided by genealogist Tom Clark, Dallas, TX

Taken from Goodspeed History, 1890 (thank you Tom for providing me this):

"Directly west of Helena is the old graveyard on one of the hills partially surrounding the city. The land was owned by individuals, but by consent the people buried their dead there from the settlement of Helena until the close of the Civil War. Monuments and headstones were knocked to pieces by the cannonading [note: Battle of Helena, 4 July 1863]. After the close of the war, the timber having been removed, the ground began to wash into gullies, and soon began to disturb the sleeping dead. Then the remains of some persons who had friends and relatives living sufficiently near were disinterred and buried elsewhere, but the remains of all others were left to their fate."
