The Alpine Cemetery (historic name: Simpson's Chapel Cemetery) is located on the former Jessie Belknap Donation Land Claim. This cemetery might originally have been the Belknap family burial plot. In 1904, Simpson Chapel, originally located between Alpine and Bellfountain, moved to Alpine, on Alpine Road just south of the cemetery. It burned down in the early 1970s.
Many Belknap graves are interred here. The headstone for Jesse Belknap who donated the the land for this cemetery contains his birth year of 1792. Finding birth dates in the late 1700s is very uncommon in cemeteries in Oregon.
