The cemetery was read in Jan 2002 by
Phil and Sharleen Wurm.
Driving directions: From the
intersection of highways 36 and 83, the Shibboleth Cemetery is located 13 miles
south, 1 mile east, 1/4 mile south, and then follow the trail leading up to the
cemetery.
This is a real interesting cemetery. We went expecting
to find only about 35 markers, but as soon as we drove up to it we could see
that there were more that 35 stones. Besides the stones that were marked,
we found 51 native limestone markers
with no names or dates visible. Either they were never marked or the
weather and elements have taken their toll. One of the stones is marked just
"Mother". In the first pictures you can see what the stones are
like and in the second picture a group of seven of the stones that are
unmarked.
