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.

Bounded by Locust, 32nd, Spruce, and 33rd Streets(approximate); circa 1832–1860 (Agnew et al. 1890). Current status unknown; possibly destroyed. Burials within this cemetery were disturbed by construction for the Keystone Battery Armory in 1889–1890 (Philadelphia Inquirer, October 29, 1889 and December 28, 1890), and again during the construction of Franklin Field, in the early 1920s.
