This is an abandoned cemetery on State of California property and not 
easily accessed from the road.  It is located off Pythian Rd. You take 
Pythian Road and then take a left past the old Pythian School to the end 
of the road. From here you must walk through the first gate and follow 
the path around the next fence. Follow the road and the graves are on the
left. Most of the actual graves, as far as I can tell, have been blacktopped
over and there are "sinkholes" at each grave. Many of the markers are wood 
with Name only and are now unreadable. On these markers I have copied what 
is readable and I have tried to decipher any that I could.  Any "guesses" 
on my part I have enclosed in ( ). Other markers are bronze with name and 
dates. There are approximately three markers that have headstones that are
located outside the fenced cemetery and are grown over with berries. I am 
planning to go back and cut some of the berries back to see if there are 
more graves. It appears there possibly are.
