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 burial ground laid out in the Town of Wells, Rutland County, Vermont was at the Town's First Church (Meeting House). In 1789, that Church (Meeting House) was situated, in what then was considered the center of the town, on the rise of land about midway between the pond bridge and pond mountain on the north side of the highway. By 1868 no monuments remained to mark the graves of the Town's early settlers buried there.
