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 Gunkel Bural Ground is now on private property. It is located high on the bluff south of the Cottonwood River, half a mile east of the Rocky Ford Bridge. It overlooks the Cottonwood River Valley to the north with wide stretches of prairie in other directions. In the 1930's, it was stated that two elm trees were close to the center of the old burial plot, where stone lay in disarray along with the remains of a stone fence. Today, one can still see a few scattered stones. This abandoned burying ground was started by Henry Gunkel who died in 1860. Known burials are based on written stories and obituaries from the local newspaper.
