Look for what looks like a wide, overgrown gravel shoulder just before reaching Ookala Rd. on the seaward side of the highway. You'll see the rooftop of a maintenance shed, which obviously is itself in need of maintenance, itself. The cemetery winds downhill next to a gulch. Many of the stones are fallen over or broken. Only two have western characters that I could read and catalog. These I have photographed and listed below. ================================================================================================================ NAME Birthdate Deathdate Image No. comment ================================================================================================================ Fujiyoshi, Masaaki Dec 1925 Feb 1926 1_kukuivil Nagata, Misu ----------- ----------- 5_kukuivil --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
