It seems as though my sorting/file pile seems to get larger than smaller. In the filing bin was a map of the Amedee Cemetery. What is peculiar is that the cemetery is on private property, but Lassen County Surveyor Thomas W. Ogilvie prepared it and the Lassen County Board of Supervisors accepted on June 6, 1955. In addition, Amedee’s heyday had long been over, and only nine burials occurred there.  Yet, the 1955 map includes 79 new plots, while Amedee’s population consisted of one person.

Finally, if you notice a trend of cemetery topics in the next few weeks, it is because of Memorial Day weekend, and I am focused on cemetery work in preparation thereof.
