Fore Cemetery
T21, R11, S11
County Road 587 at Bakersfield City Limits

This cemetery is a family burial ground located on land  homesteaded  by
Samuel and Margaret M. Fore. The grounds are fenced.

In Civil War times, bushwackers came upon the land, and  on  6  February
1865, killed Samuel Fore and his son, James G. The daughters  of  Samuel
Fore,  Maggie  Fore  Price,  Mary  Fore  Mitchell  and  Elizabeth   Fore
Galbraith, buried their father and brother, fashioning a wagon bed  into
a coffin. Also killed by bushwackers, during the War, on Fore land was a
relative whose name was Kerr, an uncle  to  Robert  S.  Kerr,  a  former
Oklahoma governor. He was killed as was carrying a load of ears of  corn
in his arms to feed his horse.

Johnnie May Lester said she remembers  hearing  these  stories  told  by
older friends reminiscing of happenings told to them.
