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 is on the land originally owned by James A. McClelland. Land patent records indicate the James A. McCleland as owner of E½NW, Section 33, patent issued 01/01/1846; and Juliet G. McClelland as owner of NESE, Section 27, patent issued 01/02/1848. Both were cash sale homesteads. (BLM - General Land Office Records, online database)

Notes written by the WPA worker who recorded the graves in this cemetery indicate that they were in a field near the road on the Oscar Pufahl farm. According to old maps, the Oscar Pufahl farm was in Garnavillo twp., section 33.

The book Garnavillo, Iowa, Gem of The Prairie, by Roggman, 1988 gives the cemetery location: "....on a farm presently owned by Valmah Brandt. The land was for many years known as the Pufahl Farm." and that it is approximately 2 blocks west of Hwy 52, with the large trees marking the cemetery "readily seen from the road". Roggman also indicates that stones form a wall around the cemetery.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature ID for the cemetery is 1949244 (McCellan Cemetery).
