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.

Located 1/2 mile south and one mile east of Hwy 61 on Co Rd 22 on south side of road OR off 70th St between Granada and Goodview.

At the turn of the century this was the location of a rest home affiliated with Church of God. Cemetery was for its inmates; many were indigent. Cemetery records were lost in 1945. By 1982 all above ground evidence of cemetery had disappeared and most of the ground covered by row crops. Site marked with one large carved granite monument; individual markers have disappeared. During highway construction in 1982, cemetery was resurveyed and fenced. Shallow depressions are only evidence of burials. Cemetery is owned by city and listed in City Register of Historic Sites and Landmarks. Access by means of pedestrian trail; no off-street parking. Bronze marker installed in 1990 by Washington County Historical Society. This cemetery was the focus, as well as several others, of the Heritage Education Project of Cottage Grove and Newport.
