Inscription
Sometimes referred to as the "Masonic Graveyard", began in circa 1860. Interred here are the remains of many early Argonauts. Nature's storms and miner's greed exposed many graves in the prior cemetery, including that of Thaddeus Purdy, the first District Attorney of Sierra County. These departed ones where then moved to this site starting in 1876.
