Stanley A Sunday afternoon trip in the family car found us up in the Tehachapi mountains, a lovely peaceful area of pleasant valleys and hills, dotted with ranches. Being the Cummings Valley we decided to visit the Arts and Crafts shop at the Men's Correctional Institution which lies in the valley, surrounded by mountains topped with snow at the time. As we approached the entrance road, a small graveyard caught our eye, at the side of the road. It was completely chain link fenced and padlocked. Upon further inspection we note the care it was receiving, shrubs watered, grass cut and the extreme age of the graves, weather-beaten. Only 3 stones remained legible: Felix Casaubon July 10,1874 June 8, 1893 Albertus C. Alberts 1825-1893 Dr. Madison Peery 1857-1895 A large wooden cross hung from the fence reading: JESRISMSAIS (Jesus M Sais) A 58 Y Returning to town we phoned Perry Brite, living in Bakersfield, and a grandson of the John Brite who homesteaded in 1854, in what is known as Brite valley, next to Cummings Valley. Mr. Brite informed us that his father had donated five acres of land for the purpose of a graveyard, providing that they would maintain it properly. In recent years neglect took over as the 75 graves were very old, unprotected from fire and valdalism. The property reverted back to the Brite Family. As the adjoining ranch was sold to become the State Correctional Institution, the prisoners now voluntarily maintain the grounds. The southeast corner has some 25 graves, all Mexican. Two other graveyards were established under the same donation by private families, on in Brite Valley and the other one on the Shields Place. Mr. Brite informed us that he is a namesake of Dr. Madison Perry, who endeared himself to the community in those days of hardship.
