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.

Anyone buried at the Alms cemetery have no stone, just the big one that represents the Alms House. History on the Alms cemetery-it was destroyed. Back in the 60s they built a new nursing home and the Interstate 74 was also being built. The cemetery was in the way and the State Highway Dept had 2 options. 1) plow up what was left and get the road built right away OR turn it into the State and wait for months for them to decide what to do about it. They chose option 1. All we have left are the records and the census. Unfortunately when someone was unable to be buried anywhere but the Alms house, they didn't get an obituary.
