Lina:

The Bull Creek Cemetery was washed away in a huge flood in early December, 1955.
What little trace remained was washed away in an even worse flood in December,
1964. Three or four caskets were recovered, downstream in the branches of huge
trees (Redwood trees, the tallest in the world). Several ladies that lived in the
area established a new cemetery, on higher ground, that they named "The Bull Creek
Pioneer Memorial Cemetery." They put in a marble slab with the names of 167 people
that they remembered were buried there. I will see if your ancestors are on the
list chiseled into the marble slab. This may take some time for me to do. Let's
keep in touch, all right?

Regards,

Don Tunison-Campbell
