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.

June 6,1874, Cemetery ground was purchased from Hiram H. and Rebecca Folck of Dallas County, Iowa for $50.00.

Sexton J. H. Weeks on Tuesday of this week exhumed from the old cemetery at Windy Knoll, and brought to the cemetery at Harlan, the body of Christian Goodyear, and three of the infant children of Mrs. Carmichael. The Probability is that the remaining six bodies buried there will also be removed and the cemetery abandoned. The township trustees have levied a tax to fence the cemetery which will not be needed if the removals are made as contemplated.

August of 1892
All the bodies at the Windy Knoll cemetery have been removed to the Harlan Cemetery. The Coffins were rotted away and only the bones remained. By the remains of one little child lay a silk necktie as well preserved as when it was put on the little one eighteen years ago. The bodies were removed by Sexton Weeks.
