Thanks Shawnee! I read all of those that have been posted so far, and a number of them fit the description of the cemetery I was looking for. A couple said that floods had removed any record of who was buried in them, so that made me very sad! I began to feel there was little hope. Glad to hear there are still some records to come that might fit! Thank you so much for all you've done for us.

No problem Valerie. I am really enjoying all the history. I was saddened by the flooding also and realized I went swimming in the river where the cemeteries were when I was a kid. I even looked in some of my Mormon history books to see if I could recover any of the names but to no avail. I will be getting to some more of the Montebello and Sonora Townships shortly. I am almost finished with the Breneman Farm Cemetery and that is such a fastenating story you will have to read it if you are really into the history of the county as well as the Genealogy of the county.
