27 August 2007; Pere Cheney, MI.
The road is appropriately named Cemetery Rd. It is also the long way to Pere Cheney. But a unique and very quiet drive straight into the woods on a sandy two track.

This is Avery Cemetery near Preston, Connecticut, where my 10th great grandparents, Thomas Parke, Sr. (1615-1709) and his wife Dorothy (Thompson) Parke (1624-1709), are buried. The exact location of their graves are lost to history.
Luper Cemetery is near Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, and is one of the earliest pioneer cemeteries in the southern Willamette Valley. The site is also known as Irving Cemetery or Baker Cemetery. The first grave site was in 1857, although records indicate that the cemetery began in 1859, when land was donated by Thomas and Elizabeth Baker. The cemetery is named for James Luper, an 1852 pioneer from Illinois, who settled nearby in an area known for a time as Luper, Oregon. James Luper owned the land surrounding the cemetery. A grave site location service has identified 160 graves, many of pioneer families. (www.lupercemetery.com/)
Don't know if this was a marker or just a very elaborate bench, but it was quite nice. Saw no names on it, but I didn't examine it very closely.
Placerville received its name because of placer mining in the vicinity. The ghost town is located 17 miles East of Horseshoe Bend. The townsite was selected December 1, 1862; and by December 16 there were 6 cabins in the camp. By the early summer of 1863, the town had 300 buildings and a population of 5,000. At the meeting of the first legislature held in Lewiston in 1863, the citizens obtained a charter for their city. Father Mesplie, a Catholic priest, held the first church service January 4, 1864, and in that same year a stage line was established between the Basin and Wallua to carry Wells Fargo express. It ran every other day from Placerville and went through in four days. By July 1864, 4500 claims had been recorded in the that district.

A better wife than her husband deserved.
A better mother than her children deserved.
He came into the world without fanfare
and he left the same way.
But while he was here he made a difference.
The grave of John Edward Hollenbeck. (Luckily, his grave has managed to escape having a freeway built over it.) A very good wikipedia entry on Mr. Hollenbeck: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Edward_Hollenbeck
