This cemetery is way up the hills by Badger, CA. We had a lovely drive up to find it. We had to stop and ask someone to make sure we were going to the right place since there really isn't a record of it anywhere--no gps coordinates or address. I am sending in the coordinates to the Find A Grave Site. We did find it and it was absolutely a beautiful place. The cemetery overlooks what we figure is Eshom Valley with a small pond/lake on the floor of the valley. Your B.G. Dunn is right on the row closest to the overlook of the valley. (We thought a nice place!)
We forgot to bring water with us and the water had not been turned on yet. We think maybe if the headstone was wet it would be clearer and easier to read. Maybe you can use your photo editing software to sharpen the engraving.
This is a 'distance' picture for you. You can see that he is on the last row in the older section of the cemetery. There are two small sections to the cemetery. We were so sad when we didn't find him at first and then my husband just happened to look down a small slope and see a group of more graves. Besides, the area we were searching were too recent! We both breathed a sigh of relief!
I took this picture so that you could see the perspective and some of the cemetery. If you count over from the right on the row closest to the top of the picture, your ancestor is the 4th one from the right in the sunlight.
This is a picture from where his grave is and the overlook into the valley.
We took this picture of the road sign that points to the cemetery. It's not quite as interesting as the wooden sign.
Here is a picture of the valley and the road that leads to the cemetery. The cemetery is more than a mile down that road and you can't see the cemetery from the entrance. Hope you enjoy these pics. If you click on them you will get the full size pictures of them. You have my permission to use them as you wish.
