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.

History: The oldest cemetery in Brooklyn Township, except for individual family graveyards. It is also known as, "West Cemetery" or "Old Burial Ground." William Atkinson was probably the last person buried here in 1888. Most grave markers are broken in half, are lying on the ground, and are difficult to read.

Grave Transfers: Whether or not any graves were ever transferred from Melugin-Robinson Cemetery to Melugin Grove Cemetery is highly uncertain. At least 15 graves that are supposed to have been transferred to Melugin Grove Cemetery have been verified to still be at Melugin-Robinson Cemetery. There may be confusion in historical records because of the similar names. A full cemetery census of all grave markers at Melugin-Robinson was conducted in April 2014 and all grave markers are expected to be online by June 2014.

Location: The cemetery is located 100 yards North of Shaw Road almost directly across from a large wind turbine, between Hutchinson Road (on the West) and Carnahan Road (on the East). It is also located next to a creek that is almost unseen from the road. There are no roads leading to the cemetery so you must walk across an open field to view the graves. You can see several of the gravestones that are still standing from the road.
