Turn east on County Road 81 (Spanish Street.) ITurn left after the Claypiper Theater and proceed about a quarter of a mile. The entrance will be a gate on the right with St. Stephens in wrought iron over the gate. Go through the gate and up the slight hill to reach the cemetery. The earliest stone we could read was for Peter McCabe, December, 1863. He was from Ireland. There are a number of unmarked graves. This cemetery is maintained by Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Sutter Creek as the Drytown Catholic Church burned. The foundations of the old church are visible at one edge of the cemetery. These tombstones were transcribed in the Summer of 2004 by Barbara Heard and Barbara McMahon, members of the Amador Genealogy Group. ?? Dominga V -- -- OLD headstone, very difficult to read.
