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.

"William Coats bequeathed to his family a plot of land between Coates and Brown and Second and Third Streets as the Coats Family Burying Ground." Four or five acres of land near the cemetery were known as "Coats' Woods". In 1853 the Coats Family Burying Ground was sold, and the human remains were removed to Laurel Hill Cemetery. Buildings have covered the site since then.

Coates Street was renamed Fairmount Avenue, but Brown Street retains its original name.
