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.

This cemetery was extensively damaged in the 1899, 1936 and 1977 Johnstown floods. Less than 200 gravestones remain from what is estimated to be 6,000 burials. Many people were re-interred in Grandview and other cemeteries. All records before 1936 were destroyed in that flood. Last burial was in 1977, and the family of the deceased had to get a court order to allow her to be buried there.
NOTE: All of the headstones that remain in this cemetery have been photographed/posted. If a person does not have a headstone photo posted to Find A Grave, either the person is in an unmarked grave, or else they were one of the many people who were eventually re-interred in other area cemeteries (on higher ground).
