--------------------------------------------------------------------
This small cemetery is located just a couple of miles outside of, 
and to the north of, Long Beach WA, on Hwy 103.  There is no address 
for this cemetery, but it would be about the 140th block, I estimate, 
of the highway.  It is on the old DLC of John Briscoe (registered in 
Vancouver WA), facing the ocean, yet sheltered by the dunes.  

At some point, the owners of the two homes aside the cemetery have 
taken to keeping the small fence whitewashed, and the beach grass 
cleaned away from inside.  The stones have both been broken at some 
point, however, someone has done a pretty fair job of reassembling 
them.  Both stones are readable, detailed, and statuesque.

Local history declares that John Jr., a teenager, was also buried here, 
though there is no stone for him.  I have nothing on the cause of his 
death, nor his age.
