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.

Originally established in 1866 as a Civil War Orphan's Home, reportedly including evangelist Billy Sunday as one of its residents. In the 1870's it became the first Iowa Institution for Feeble-Minded Children. In 1935 it became the Glenwood State-Hospital School. It is now known as the Glenwood Resource Center.

The cemetery is accessed from the middle of the Resource Center by a single lane road to the south end, to where a gazebo and display case are located. A plot diagram in the display case reflects last names and plot locations. The cemetery markers have gone through several phases including upright markers, which were then replaced by flat concrete markers with names and dates, to the current flat marble markers with only last name, first name initials and plot number, apparently reflecting state laws of "patient confidentiality."
