Pioneer Cemetery History
Many pioneers are buried in this historic cemetery. The following information has been found through much research. The cedar headstones were made in 2010 – 2014 and are inscribed with what was on the original markers (English translation for those that were originally in Spanish). The original markers have been gone for many years—from decay, theft and a fire that swept through the cemetery in the 1990’s. Most of the cedar markers were installed during the 2014/’15 renovation, but the installation is not complete, so if a name is noted on the attached list but not on a marker, it will be eventually. Thank you for respecting and supporting this wonderful little cemetery.
