Interesting news was reported in the Roseburg, OR "The News-Review" on Oct. 23, 2014. It appears at one time there was a cemetery on this property. Mildred Kanipe bulldozed the ancient pioneer tombstones because she didn't want people entering her land searching for them. Consequently, the cemetery disappeared from history.
Currently, 16 suspected gravesites have been red-flagged. Metal detectors and radar equipment were used to locate the gravesites.
It appears that this cemetery was created by people who owned the property before Mildred's family.
