The Forest Service calls this cemetery the Bonanza Cemetery Gravesites. I transcribed from a Biographical Work given to me by Dorothy M. H. Wren. It was compiled by Dorothy Wren and W. G. "Bill" Haley a few years ago. Additional information may be had by contacting me at the above e-mail address.

A map of the area may be seen by clicking here. This cemetery is well cared for but is not used for burials anymore.
