Yellow Rose (Old Ross) Cemetery
Latah County, Idaho

Contributed by Maggie Rail, Jul 20, 2000 [mrail@asisna.com]. Total records = 9 .

To reach the cemetery, from Genesee-Juliaetta Rd turn north onto the Lenville Rd. Continue north to Baumgartner where you turn east. It is difficult to find with a .3 mi walk uphill to reach it. I was fortunate to have Andy Anderson as my guide to this cemetery. T38N R4W Sec 24, I walked this cemetery on Jul 11, 2000.

I compared my readings with those of 'Early and Present History of Fix Ridge 1877-1964'. I placed an asterisk * after names I found, which have no headstone. It appears there may even be more names of the spouses and perhaps children of these early pioneers.

Legend:
n/k = next of kin
s/w = stone with, they share the same stone
w/o = wife of
h/o = husband of
m. = married
bur. = buried
b. = born
d. = died
