Established in 1910 this cemetery is just east of a dramatic volcanic marr named
Fort Rock.
Fort Rock towers 325 feet above the desert floor lending to this cemetery's picture of desolation. Most of the graves here are from the homestead era 1910-1920 but the graveyard is still in use as I found a newer grave during my visit from 2006. The graves vary from the elaborate fenced white marble monument of J. Christensen to the weathered wooden marker of Albert Findley who passed away in 1912.
Graves at this location have been researched through 1992 by a volunteer and the names of those buried here up until that year can be found in the USGenWeb Archives.
