There are a total of 127 names of people listed above that could be buried in the Galena Cemetery.  Sixty seven of these names are common to both the Seth Galvin and the 2014 list.  Fifteen of these names are only found on the 2014 list and thirty nine are only found on the Seth Galvin list.  There are six names that are only found on the Sarah Mackey and Borsch/Bentley lists.  These numbers add up to 127.

 

The thirty nine names found on Seth Galvin’s list but not found on the 2014 list are unmarked graves.  The six names on Sarah Mackey’s list and the Borsch/Bentley list are also not found on the 2014 list so they are also assumed to be unmarked.  There appear to be forty five unmarked graves in the Galena Cemetery.

 

Thirty two depressions were recorded in the grid survey of 2014 which are considered to be unmarked & unknown.  The one “unknown man” from the Seth Galvin list appears to be one of those depressions.  Adding the thirteen marked but unknown graves from the 2014 survey, there appear to be 45 graves that cannot be tied to names.  Adding the 82 named graves from the 2014 list, it appears there are 127 graves within the present, fenced boundary of the Galena Cemetery.  It appears that all 127 graves could be matched to the 127 names of people that could be buried in the Galena Cemetery.
