OWNERS:

This graveyard was established by William Gee and reserved by the Gee 
descendants in all deeds on record at Prince George.  The property on which this 
graveyard is located was owned from September 1847 to 1872 by William Gee.  It 
was then inherited by his widow Emily Wiseman Tyler Gee, who in her will dated 
June 11, 1875, probated in court on January 13, 1876, left it to her son Charles 
Gee.  Charles Gee and his wife Anna Bland sold it to Frederick Lange, Sr. on 
August 6, 1894.  Frederick Lang, Jr. and his wife Annie bought it from his 
father on October 24, 1907.  It was next bought by John A. Hobbs on June 1, 
1926.  It is now the property of John A. Hobbs estate. [1937]

DESCRIPTION:

It is in an open field about 200 yards west of the residence, on the farm named 
“Santa Rose”.  It is a lot fifty feet square with no markers but several sunken 
places  indicating there were graves.  The wooden fence which encloses it is in 
very bad condition.  Several cedar trees alone stand as marking the spot.
