Add PhotosCan you imagine the heartache that the Leonard family must have felt when, in a period of time spanning 10 years, six of their children died either of diptheria or from other hazards that plagued those early pioneers.
Sometime in the late 1950's or early in the 1960's, mercedea Leonard Lewis arranged for a permanent grabite marker to be placed in memorial of her family. On it, are lovingly inscribed the names of her brothers, sisters, and grandfather, as well as the dates of their deaths.
The trail leading up to this cemetery is well maintained, and there is some evidence to indicate that someone lives further up on the hillside. The cemetery itself apparently receives semi-regular care, as there are no large bushed or weed patches growing there. It is surrounded entirely by large oak and madrone trees, which help to create an eerie feeling late late in the afternoon when the sun begins to set.
