Tadamac Cemetery
The Tadanac Cemetery was in use prior to 1926 and can
only be reached by water. It is located on the property owned by the ‘Tadanac
Club” and not on the reserve.
We found the remains of the little houses that were
commonly erected over the graves in the early Indian days. We found only three
had survived the weather and time had done the rest so making the place look
desolated. We located five graves but evidence of many, many graves
Pioneer Memorial to those who died or were killed on the
old saw mill trail along the Moon River in the year 1861.
Gibson Reserve
This Cemetery is well maintained and many graves had
fresh flowers around them. There are eleven wooden crosses and 23 graves at
least with no identification.
Disclaimer! The following
internments was taken from the book, "These Our Ancestors Were"
which was printed in 1974. There are several errors in the book and does
not show any burials after 1974. The following listing is only as accurate
as the printed book and has not been updated since 1974.
