This unusual cemetery wasn't really supposed to end up being a 
cemetery, but more a burial place for the deceased living on or near 
the property.  Landowners commonly would bury the dead on their land 
in the earlier days, as it was legal at that time.  The property 
involved here is near Menlo, a small community, and the burials took 
place in an awkward location for today.  On the old WHEATON place, 
or at the edge of their place is where the two burials occurred, 
the burials were in the middle of the road.  Literally.  R. WHEATON 
was kind enough to move the bones closer toward Mill Creek.  
This location is where the covered bridge crosses the Willipa River.
