This is somewhat of a lost cemetery. Very few people knew of this burial ground, family, a few locals who lived in the area and later the owner of the property.

Alta Bixby Gregg, daughter of Charles Gregg, wrote a letter in 1952 explaining that the cemetery was on the Hoge ranch and that her grandparents where buried there, along with a 'Jap' and a child. Eight known burials according to her, the other four burials being neighbors.

The Hoge's had sold their ranch, by this time to Dr. Chapman and his wife Jo. Alta, was pleased to hear that Dr. Chapman had fixed the fence that surrounded the cemetery.

At one time, there was one solo marker, it being for either a man of Chinese or Japanese descent. It is possibly the one that was referred to in the letter. Jo Chapman,, contacted the family of this deceased person and returned the marker to them.

The Rancho Calera property of the Chapman's, has now been subdivided into several parcels, but the cemetery has not been disturbed or removed.
