Shirley Camley small wooden cross is made of 4x4s with her name and 1936 - 1946 inscribed with white lettering.

Shirley Camley was born on September 15, 1938 in Kamloops, and passed away on May 10, 1946 at the age of 7 years.

The Little Fort Community Cemetery is within the Thompson-Nicola Regional District and established 1909. There are 128 known interments, however the majority are unmarked. So it seems that the cemetery was unused until about the early 1920's. This could possibly began as a family cemetery with the passing of an infant.

The first interment in Little Fort Cemetery was Baby Brunkau birth unknown and passed away in 1909.

This is a small cemetery and is somewhat isolated though near the highway. Most passersby would mostly likely miss it, if they were not aware of its location. It is surrounded by dense forest though the cemetery itself is flat and is being maintained. There are not many marked graves and a few are older and newer interments are marked with black granite headstones.

Date of Birth: September 15, 1938
