Transcription
The little cemetery is in a depression or shallow valley on the upper part of the nearest hill. Soil is so shallow that the graves are mostly built up above the general level of the ground. Most of the graves are not marked, and the inscriptions have weathered off from most of the wooden crosses when they are marked. The grave of one gover- nor is marked with an iron cross, of another with a substantial gran- ite headstone, and of an infant child of the Bulle's, 1915, with a neat small granite headstone. The whole place is desolate enough, life all the cemeteries that I have seen up here.
