This cemetery is 2 mi. north, 8 mi. west and 5/8 mi. north of Fairfield.

The land for the Cemetery was donated by Hugh Franklin and Mary Jane Senter McCarter who homesteaded on Corral Creek in 1886. This cemetery is now maintained by a county Cemetery District.

According to the family the first burial was a prospector who placer mined along the Snake River in the wintertime and prospected in the hills in the summer. One spring he came down with spotted fever, died and was the first person buried in the Corral Cemetery. It is presumed this was Frank Downard, who was buried in 1888. It was a short time after this that the McCarthers donated the land to the County.

At the beginning there were many wooden crosses used to mark the burial sites. These are all gone, due to many reasons, but mostly from deterioration. There are probably many more buried here than there are records for, according to Kate McCarter, a member of the original family.

I walked and transcribed this cemetery in 2003, with most of the information coming from cemetery records.
