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 Shepard family cemetery contains as least six gravestones, including those of Isaac and Sarah Shepard who helped establish the Pleasant Ridge community in 1848, home to the first African American settlement in Wisconsin. The burial ground is surrounded on three sides by the Lancaster Ag Reseach Station. Although the land deed specifically excludes this half-acre area plot from the university ownership. Less that a mile to the southwest ,on Slab Town Road is the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery. The 51 tombstomes in this cemetery belong to the extended Shepard and Green families.

This cemetery is at the end of a lane on the University of Wisconsin Lancaster Agriculture Research Station. You'll have to ask permission access to the location of the cemetery.
