She was the daughter of John and Lydia Perry, and spent many years there as well as in Relief Hill, North Bloomfield, and Nevada City. She and her husband moved to Kuna, Idaho, to be near her daughter, Linda. Some years after her husband passed away, she had the misfortune to fall, and has been bedridden for more than ten years. THE EXODUS It began quite early. The Old Timers leaving for various reasons. The mulls, Evans and Danuals families for the Bay_ District, the Charles Davis family to settle in Oregon, the McCracken family to make their home in Seattle which was. then only a small town, the George Davis and David Davis families in or near San _ Francisco. William Mener and family to North San Juan, later to Pasadena while it was a boom town. The Perrys to North Bloomfield, the Moore family to Nevada State. The rest in their. last resting place in—the cemetery. Also Steve: Wood and wife are laid there to rest. The Slacks removed to Oregon. In 1883, H. O. Hiscox, after his wife’s death, had been sent to what we believe is now called Columbia, South America. He was delayed on his journey as there was a war on the Isthmus at the time, but finally arrived at his destimation and three days later passed away and was buried there, eléven months after his wife’s death. The Warners removed to Oakland. In 1900, the last time we were in Sweetland, but few of the old time friends remained. James Wocd, who still owned the store and postoffice, James O. Sweetland, who worked for him, Emma Barnum, (her mother had passed away), Pete Graham whose wife was dead ,and children married and gone to make their--homes elsewhere; Fremont Wood, son of James Wood, and family, and the Merriam family, were all that were left of the “‘old time’’ friends in the town. In the homes north of town were the Isbesters, the Tabers and Ransomes. The Tabors later removed to Grass Valley and the Ransomes to some place near San Francisco Bay Region. In 1903 the youngest son of the Hiscox family with his family became residents of Nevada City and years later was laid to rest in Pine Grove Cemetery near his oldest son who had preceded him.

Ransome and wife are also residents of Nevada City. Mrs. Helen Sawyer and Mrs. Louise Fox. THE HOME OF THE DEAD The little cemetery before spoken of contains comparatively few graves. One reason for that We believe, is because the plot was never cared for. It was too high to be irrigated easily, and a second reason, because the ditch which brought had been neglected and allowed to fill up, and every one too busy or otherwise occupied to do the necessary repair work. Many took their dead to North San Juan and interred them in the cemetery there, as it was always cared for. The Catholics always took their departed friends to the Catholic Cemetery at North San Juan for according to their belief no good Catholic must lie in unconsecrated ground: The-fire which swept through the town some years ago also destroyed the wooden markers in the cemetery. All markers were of wood save one, a stone quarried from the native rock, was put up by the father at the head of the grave of a child in early days and probably is there yet. On that plot two other graves have been added and now contains’ the graves of Mrs. Archie Moore, Alfred and Wallace Moore, (children).

Clara Davis and her young son, Mrs. Charles Davis and infant daughter, “Mrs. Elmira Wood ,James Wood,, irrigating watery Minnie and Gilbert Wood, Mrs. Harriet Wood and Stephen Wood, all members of the same family. In line with these are the membersof the J. W. Wood, family, Frank Wood (a son), Frank Wood, (a grandson), Fremont Wood, son of James and Elmira Wood. Still farther to the north a child of Mrs. and Mrs. J. C. Broderick, buried’ very near the northern boundary of the cemetery. A second row of graves beginning east of the Moores lot contains the graves of Otis Hiscox, his wife, William Hiscox and Alfred Hiscox, grandsons, and sons of H. O. Hiscox and wife. Some distance to the north are the graves of one whom the writer has forgotten. Next the grave of Elijah Pease, next a man by the name of Bell, old timer’s first name unknown to the writer, next a smal] brother of Emma Barnum, In the middle of the cemetery, three graves in which Mrs. James O.
