This tiny cemetery that Joseph and a lot of his family were buried in sits right in the corner of a big filbert orchard. I was told by someone who lives out there near it one time that the person who owns or possibly now, owned, since they may have sold it to someone else, did not like having a little cemetery in the corner of his filbert orchard and the person I talked to said they believe he buried or removed some of the old gravestones that were there or damaged them so bad with farm equipment harvesting his filberts that the gravestones were disposed of. When I was there many years ago there was only one gravestone left sad to say. Somebody who lived across the highway from there said they had pictures that had been taken long ago of many of the gravestones that were there before they got destroyed or vandalized or whatever happened to them. I was never able to work out a deal with them to get copies of those priceless treasure pictures. Sad. I obtained a hwy project report that was done when the hwy dept was considering widening the road beside the cemetery and they did ground penetrating radar on the cemetery to try and determine how many people were buried there and it was something like 27 images of people in graves they determined and if they widened the road it would undermine a bunch of those graves so it was not done.
