Orson 'Elmo' Brandon is buried in Klamath Memorial Park in the Aspen Grove part of the cemetery. My posted coordinates will place you very close to his grave. Orson's obituary is taken from FindaGrave.com:

Orson "Elmo" Brandon was born on May 28, 1921, to William and Sarah Florence-Belle Brandon in Oil Hill, Kan. He was the youngest of nine children.

In 1951, Elmo met and married Lena Rodarte. They had three children Emmanuel, Pamela and Mary. Elmo and Lena were married 49 years until her death in 2000.

Elmo could be described as a hardworking, family man. He supported his family by working on the railroad until he retired in 1975 due to an injury. Following his work on the railroad, he was a ranch hand and worked for the U.S. Forest Service.

Elmo loved music. He loved to sing and play guitar and could play almost any instrument by ear. He was also fluent in Spanish, which surprised many.

He was very proud of and involved with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was active in the Boy Scouts and was the Sunday school president for his ward.

Survivors include his son Emmanuel Brandon, daughter and son-in-law Pamela and Donald Combs, daughter and son-in-law Mary and Jason Chambers, five grandchildren Gabriel, Sand, Andrew, Emylee, and Brandon, one great-grandson Owen, and several nieces and nephews he kept in close contact with.
