As with most cemeteries, there are many unmarked graves in this one. This is what was written about this cemetery in the package supplied by Mr. Barney. The cemetery is located approximately 7 miles south of Covelo, off the east end of Fairbanks Lane and to the south of it is a private ranch. The site was chosen by Robert Foster, the fountainhead of this early pioneer family. He was the first person to be buried in it as he wanted it for his last resting place, on a pleasant oak studded knoll, overlooking the surrounding countryside. Thereis a redwood sign "Pioneer Cemetery" over the entrance gate, "Rest In Peace". A wire fence encloses the area. Information derived and verified from Leo Foster of Ukiah, a descendant, and Mrs. Myrtle Catherine Rohrbough of Covelo For additional information on this and other Mendocino County Cemeteries and updates to this list, see the web site: Mendocino County Indexes http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mendocem/ ******************************************************************************* Name BORN DIED COMMENTS Brush, Amelia M. 05/18/1839 01/17/1916 Wife of Nelson Brush, Native of Vermont Brush, Clifford A. 04/08/1916 05/04/1980 Brush, Elsie A. 00/00/1863 00/00/1878 Age 15yrs, Dau of N.A. & A.M.
