Directions: From Hwy 75 at Dew take Co. Road 489 East about 6 1/2 miles and the cemetery is on the right in the pasture on top of a hill. You can not see the cemetery from the road but it is across the road from the Plum Creek Headquarters.
Family legends has it that much of the cemetery was inadvertently excavated when the ranch belonged to Henry Yager and he began selling gravel from the hill. Unknowingly, the dozer operator destroyed grave markers when clearing the land. It was only when the dragline started unearthing human bones that Mr. Yager realized a cemetery existed here. He relinquished several thousand dollars in gravel to leave the rest of the graves undisturbed. It layed forgotten for many years and grew up in trees, briars and brush. In the summer of 1998 I, Catherine Simmons, my husband and three children and a couple of their friends went out with the permission of Mr. Dunlkap and started cleaning up the cemetery. We have all but a 1/4 of it cleaned up.
Bob Glazner went out and put a fence around the cemetery to keep the cows out of it. It is said that there are quite a few people buried in the cemetery but as of today these are the only stones left standing.

There is a wrought iron fence in the cemetery that we believe John L.
Johnson is buried in. There is no headstone or markings to prove this. No dates available |
