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.

On April 29, 1903 a massive landslide fell from the side of Turtle Mountain into the valley below, known as the Frank Slide after the nearby village of Frank. About ninety persons were killed, and only a few bodies were recovered. The memorials recorded here are for those persons whose bodies were never found, and remain beneath the Frank Slide. Information on the victims can be found at the nearby Frank Slide Interpretive Centre.

Memorials here do not include six victims whose bodies were discovered in 1922 and were interred in the Frank Slide Memorial Cemetery (ID 2663655). The Frank Cemetery (ID 2603311), which served the village of Frank from 1901 until 1903, was buried beneath the Frank Slide so no victims of the Frank Slide are buried there.
