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.

This information was taken from Volume I #3 of The Stalker, the newsletter of the Madison County Genealogical Society.

Ridgely was a small community in northern Madison County. Post Office records show the Ridgely Post Office was active from 1847 to 1867. Local rumor has it that the cemetery was under the right of way of Renken Road and when the road was widened, the stones were thrown into the adjoining pasture.

Parts of three stones were found in the pasture.
