This small cemetery has several graves and appears to be the main cemetery in
what was the small community of Pultite of the late 1890's and early 1900's.
One person told us this cemetery once had nice tombstones. Another person said
there were never any stones.  We have seen one stone, it is that of James Bell,
although broken, it can be read. It says he is the son of  Mr. and Mrs. S. H.
Bell.  The cemetery is near where the Pultite school was located in the 1930's.
No deed was found for this cemetery, located  in  Section 6, Township 12 North,
Range 6 West.
