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 first cemetery in St. Charles was located at the southeast corner of South Fifth Street and Illinois Street - the so called "school house lot," named because the West Side School was built here in 1854. It is not clear exactly where the burials were located on the school's property, though there were at least two burials still there in 1885. That year, Samuel W. Durant referred to Stephen Young, the first person to die in St. Charles, who was first buried on the James T. Wheeler farm, but who was "subsequently taken up and interred with Archie Moody, on the school house lot, where the remains of both still lie." (15 July 1926 issue of the St. Charles Chronicle, "Pioneer Notes of St. Charles by S. W. Durant, Published in Chronicle in the Year of 1885-6." The cemetery was begun in 1837.
