Location:  Northern edge of Sec 35, southern edge of Sec 26, T15N, 
R10W.  On east side of Highway 105, located at the mouth of Smith Creek.

This small parcel of land that sat upon a hill on the Almoran Smith 
land claim. It supposedly had about 8 graves, but the stones were never
put at the graves as they were too heavy to get up the hill.  Mr. Dixon, 
at one time, took a few of the stones up the hill with a steam donkey.  
Sadly, they eroded into the river with time, or toppled over the hillside. 
(One such stone embedded itself into a tree trunk.)  There is no known 
record of whom is in the cemetery other than those that have been 
remembered.
