Unable to locate this cemetery on any maps. ODOT cemetery survey & EOT lists T 10, R 1E, Section 17, but I believe this is in error. I've placed this cemetery at T 10, R 1E, Section 2, as that is the location of the D.L.C. of William & Evaline Shelton. Did not locate this cemetery on Linn Co. Tax Assessors maps.

Surveyed in 1968 by Harley & Helen Haskin.  Twelve tombstones were found (though nineteen names were listed), with signs of other unmarked graves apparent.  The cemetery listing was published in the "End of Trail" newsletter -- see References for further information.

Information in red was provided by Shelton Family researcher, Debbie Lee.
