He was buried on a flower-covered knoll on his own ranch. Soon after Ben Wolverton was found dead in his cabin. No relatives were known so the neighbors buried him near Frank Smith. Thus the cemetery was started. The Smith Family gave one acre for the cemetery. By 1931 there were eighteen graves. This is an active cemetery and is taken care of by the people in the Bear community. Bear cemetery is located about 38 miles N.W. of Council, Idaho. From Highway 95 in Council go to Mosher Ave., right on Railroad St. and follow the road, which turns into Council Cuprum Rd., about 30 miles of paved road. Just before the cemetery road you will see a sign that says pavement ending (a few yards before the junction of Landore Rd. and Council Cuprum Rd. There is a homemade metal sign on the right side of road by a dirt road going across Bear Creek. The cemetery is at the end of road on top of a small hill overlooking a meadow. Most information comes from Tina Warner (Warner family history) plus other research. There is more information available in a book that Leila and Tina put together and a copy was donated to the Idaho Genealogy Society.
