Located just north of Topsy Grade Rd is an older pioneer cemetery with about 25 internments and counting. Among the few graves here is one made of concrete with the inscription:
CIARA DAU. (daughter)
MISSOURI ANN
OWENS
The grave plot is made up of a wooden fence that has deteriorated and fallen to pieces. This woman is on FindaGrave.com here. I located a nice website, Waycemetery.homestead.com, that highlights this cemetery and reads:
A Pioneer Cemetery on the old stagecoach route between Copco Lake, Siskiyou County, California and Keno, Klamath County, Oregon, it contains Graves of Early Settlers-Ranchers of the area. Named for the Thomas Cranor Way family. It is four-wheel drive accessible, a nice day trip from Henley-Hornbrook, California; Ashland or Keno, Oregon.
A short hike North of Way Cemetery will reveal a breathtaking view of the wild Klamath River and its natural sounds of the wilderness.
Location:
From Oregon: approx.11 mi. South of Hwy.66 from Topsy Park via Topsy Grade.
From California: approx. 8 mi. North-East of Copco Lake, Along the wild Klamath River, or 5km North East of Beswick.
Please do not disturb any headstones, take only Photos and Memories.
