Ashley Buford Gates grave was likely unmarked in the Pioneer Cemetery as a gravestone was not recorded by a DAR survey about the year 1950.
PLEASE NOTE that the Pioneer Cemetery was located above the corner of Main Street and Cedar Ravine in Placerville and it was reported by Betty C. Laarveld who compiled information on the early cemeteries of El Dorado County, that what was the "Pioneer Cemetery" had been obliterated in part by the erection of an auto parts store once at that corner. Some of the Pioneer Cemetery may have become co-mingled with the Methodist Episcopal Church's cemetery later as burials continued in the general area of those cemeteries.
A number of graves were relocated in the 1950s from the ME Church Cemetery but primarily only those which had gravestones and could be readily identified. Other unmarked graves certainly were not moved as in that period of time and given the financial wherewithal of the Federated Church which had combined congregations with the ME Church earlier in the century, the notion of identifying a vast number of unmarked graves was not even considered and, possibly, not even thought of.
