Survey Description:
Site consists of a small cemetery with approximately 26 interments. Observed graves included: eight with
uninscribed fieldstone markers, six with inscribed marble or granite markers,
four with metal markers and uninscribed fieldstones, two with metal markers,
and six unmarked graves visible as ground surface depressions. All of the graves were oriented to the east. Historic plantings included yucca. Site was maintained and covered with mowed
grass. Site was field inspected and
headstone inscriptions were transcribed and compared to previous site
documentation. Site size was estimated
by pacing the horizontal extent of the observed graves.

Additional Comments: Assigned temporal period was based on
death dates on inscribed grave markers.
These dates ranged from 1910 through 1995. However, the presence of uninscribed
fieldstone markers and unmarked graves may indicate an earlier use of the
site. Site is not marked on the USGS
Salem map sheet.
The RVHS surveyed this cemetery and documented biographical
information transcribed from two graves that predated 1921 (1986: 192).
The report also documented wood crosses as a form of grave markers in
this cemetery. The owner of the adjacent
property corroborated this report.
However, wood cross markers were not observed in the cemetery during the
1997 survey.

The precious ones from us are gone
The voices we loved are stilled Weep
not, she is at rest
Their places are vacant in our home
which never again can be filled.
