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 (sometimes called boothill) is located in Section 35 of the former Boys Industrial School (later called Fairfield School For Boys) and was for burial of the young inmates from B.I.S. and other state schools. There is at least one employee buried here and perhaps some family members of the employees. Many of the markers appear to be handmade of brick and cement and have no inscriptions. This is now the site of the Southeastern Correctional Institution. Although not in the fenced-in-areas of the prison, you should get permission to visit this cemetery.
As a side note; there are 31 tombstones with no names on them.
