"This burying ground was used by the pioneers coming west for many years before Colonel James Fulton donated the land for a graveyard. It is located adjacent to the Ten Mile Crossing, now known as lower Fifteen Mile Creek, a natural campsite where the pioneers camped before reaching Fort Dalles. Located in T2N, R15E, NE 1/2 of Section 31, there are no tombstones or markers of any kind except for the large natural stone marker across the road which has a bronze plaque inscribed: Here lie many pathfinders to the Oregon Country. Erected by the Wasco County Pioneer Association 1935." To locate this stone marker, go out the old Dufur highway to the entrance to the new Petersburg school, and follow the Fifteen Mile Creek Road 6.6 miles. At one time there was a square white post on the right-hand side of the road that had Oregon! Trail stenciled on it. Across the road atop the bank is the stone marker erected by the Old Wasco County Pioneer Association." Drake listed known burials there with sources - surnames Keeney, MacPherson, Golden nee Relling, Black, Miller, Kandle, Fulton, Fulton, Fish, Cornwall, and possibly McKay, Denton, Jackson and Douglas.
