The cemetery survey was probably done in the 1950's. In 1958 relatives put up a monument that listed names. In 1965 another survey was done that found many markers broken, laying down or missing. It has not been field verified since then but I combined info from the two surveys and the monument. Before using the info here other sources should be sought to verify it. The Fresno Genealogy Society publishes the "Ash Tree Echo" and contains articles on this cemetery and the families buried here. Copies are are in the Fresno County downtown library. The location given is Highway 180, about 15 miles east of Fresno and less than 2 miles east of Cenmterville. The flood of 1862 washed away some of the burials and destroyed Scottsburg. Some burials were relocated to Sanger and Maountain View Cemeteries. In 1924 a fire destroyed the wood markers.
