The 1-0-1 Cemetery

The 101 Cemetery, 1931—National Park Service

This is a private cemetery located on the former 101 Ranch, near Coppervale. In 1864, David Johnson and his family came to California. While en-route to the Sacramento Valley, his wife Martha, who died on October 12, 1864 at Devil’s Corral. Johnson transported her body to Mountain Meadows and buried her at this location.  On September 26, 1884, Johnson’s  son Ralph was buried there. David Johnson, who was better known as “Peg-leg” and for whom a nearby mountain is named after him was buried in this cemetery in 1904.

Of note, I never know where I locate certain photographs. I was not expecting to find the above photograph in the archives of Lassen Volcanic National Park.
