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 Waupun (or Old Waupun) Cemetery contained the bodies of at least five Civil War veterans, and the body of veteran from the War of 1812. It was located on what is now Wilcox Park. It once contained about 139 of the city's pioneers. It has been covered with grass since at least 1921, a few years after the City of Waupun bought the land.
In the 1970s a pavilion was built there including toilets and picnic tables. When they dug on the property human bones were found. It also contained a play area, which, when dug, also revealed human bones.

The cemetery also contained prisoners who died but whose family members never picked up their remains.
There are no longer any individual grave markers at this site. May all who were interred here rest in peace.
