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 cemetery no longer exists - many bodies were removed to Riverside Cemetery - some to others. According to some sources, 4000 bodies remain under the grass at what is now Cheesman Park - according to other sources, it's a much lower number, however bodies are still found every time new irrigation work is performed.

The cemetery was opened in 1858 as the Prospect Hill Cemetery. In 1873, the cemetery name was changed to Denver City Cemetery. The cemetery was converted to Cheesman Park, which opened in 1907.
