Memorials	:	0
Location	:	Otis, Lincoln County, USA

The cemetery, itself, most likely dates from the 1880's; however, the south bank of the Salmon River, near its mouth, was long a site used by the Indians for canoe burials of the dead. The deceased Indians were wrapped in mats, placed in their canoes, and the canoes were tied up in the pine trees. There are approximately 40-50 burials...

The descendants of the Curl-Bobb-Baxter families clean the cemetery each year and have it fenced.
