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 on North 10th St., Reading, Pa., between Walnut and Elm St. It was decorated each year following the Civil War for a black veterans buried there. Burials there became so overcrowded that some graves were buried four in depth. The cemetery eventually was covered over for church expansion. As early as 1871 applications were made to Charles Evans to allow colored burials there. Approval unknown.
