There were originally numbered stones (without names) to identify burials. Today, there are only stone markers, each indicting a row of burials. A stone plaque at the eastern edge of the cemetery gives the names of the patients buried in there. Today the cemetery is know as the Outagamie County Cemetery.

The cemetery and a stone bridge are all that remain.
