Mr. Fred Hawkins says fieldstones mark the location of some 20 to 30 other burials but large piles of dirt added recently by grounds keepers have covered that over. We can see that in one of the photos Michelle sent.

Others thought to have been buried here:
Miller, Inf. son of M. D. Miller, died Sunday, on Bear Creek., burial in family burial grounds." (Daily Herald, 5 Nov 1902.)

This listing may not be complete. Any burials occurring after 1986 are missing. WA 2/26/2006
