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 cemetery has no markers and is believed to be located in the southeast corner of the 170 acre Franklin County Poor Farm site located 3 miles east of Ottawa on 15th Street. Five to seven depressions approximately six feet long running east and west were visible in 2017. The cemetery is not listed on the abstract or on the deed of the property, but subsequent landowners were told not to plow too deep in the area mentioned because of the graveyard. Later Franklin County Infirmary burials were done in Hope Cemetery in Ottawa, again in unmarked graves. The infirmary was located at 19th and Elm Street and has been converted into a residence. The poor farm buildings consisting of pest house, smoke house, barn and silo can still be seen. The cemetery was being used as pasture as recent as 2017.
