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.

A group of interested Sidney citizens researched church records, county clerk records, and many other historical sources for names, and raised enough money to begin to restore "Boot Hill." It is a work in progress as funding becomes available. After the military personnel were removed to other cemeteries in 1922, there are almost 200 individuals still buried here. The history of the site and names, burial dates, and cause of death are listed on a group of signs installed at the site.
