It is 7.8 miles west of US Hwy 95 on Lakeshore Dr., nestled in a wooded area right along Lakeshore Dr (previously called Fish Hatchery Road). You enter through a large metal cattle gate.
This cemetery is also referred to as the Morton or Dawson Cemetery. A two acre plot was initially set aside by O. G. Hossier in 1913.
This cemetery was organized by G W Dawson, James Campbell and William T Milliken in 1913. Most of the grave sites are against a barbed wire fence on the west side of the cemetery.
There were several mounds that were unmarked along the fence line. Five children are buried here that are unmarked and no longer discernible. The oldest burial appears to be Henry E Cook in 1927; however, there are several unmarked graves that may be older.
The tombstone transcriptions were completed by Mary and Nellie Garrison during July 2000. Information was also gathered from the obituaries and death notifications from local newspapers furnished by the Bonner County Historical Museum. Updated 07-17-2000
