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 plot was visited with Mr. Robert E. Prugh Sr. on 2 November 1978 whose farm the plot is on. Mr. Prugh said the land has been owned by his family about 60–70 years.

Mr. Prugh said that there were about twelve burials but only about 1½ stones remain after time and weather has taken its toll. One could still see many sunken graves with only some limestone rocks as markers. He said that a family of Stewerts built a cabin just south of the burial plot on the edge of a ravine where there was a spring. An epidemic of cholera came thru in 1850–1851 and most of the family died at that time.

Only one stone is in good condition. The other stone is broken and only part remains.

The Des Moines County Pioneer Cemetery Commission is working to gather and document information regarding the true location of this burial site and the identities of those buried there.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature ID for the cemetery is 1995142 (Prugh Farm Plot).
