Over 135 people died at Manzanar. 28 were buried in the cemetery. After the camp closed, six remained at the Manzanar cemetery.

The caption for this photograph by the WRA reads: Manzanar Relocation Center, Manzanar, California. The first grave at the Manzanar Center's cemetery. It is that of Matsunosuke Murakami, 62, who died of heart disease on May 16. He had been ill ever since he arrived here with the first contingent and had been confined to the hospital since March 23.
