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 original library building at 901 South Broad Street was a bequest to the Library Company of Philadelphia by Dr. James Rush to honor his wife, Phoebe Ann Ridgeway, and it was built in 1873 to 1878. As part of the bequest, their remains were required to be interred in the building.

When Library Company left its original home in 1966 to a new building on Locust Street between South 13th and 14th Streets, also called the Ridgway Library, a provision from the court required them to bring James and Phoebe Ann with them, where their grave markers and a memorial tablet today grace that building's lobby
