Originally the cemetery for the Graves family, this is now one of the cemeteries maintained by the Orland Cemetery district. The arch over the entrance and the white mausoleum surrounded by other markers of Graves family members show the impact of the family on the area.
The mausoleum is very well maintained, a member of the Graves family keeps it painted, and on the front are three marble plaques. The read:
Lavina J. Graves
1834 - 1916
Fountain C Graves
1828 - 1915
The third plaque has a covered wagon with an ox yoke, below which are the words:
Pioneers Sept. 26, 1861
