Individual graves are marked with small numbered stones - there is only one grave marked with a private stone showing a name. There are 778 numbered stones arranged in concentric circles originally, then opening out into a spiral.  The cemetery includes many people who were patients at the hospital and died there, but also includes three hospital employees as well as the stillborn child of a patient.  The cemetery includes two known Civil War veterans: John Cheffins (employee) #104 and Arnold Morris #199, as well as one veteran of the Spanish-American War, William Adkins #427.  Burials date from 1891 to 1983, when the cemetery was closed.
