Pine Cemetery

Pine Cemetery is located near the corner of Featherville Road (NF-61) and Sloane Gulch Road in the area of Pine. It was originally located down the valley in the old town of Pine, and was moved to this location during the construction of Anderson Ranch.

1948 Survey

The Bureau of Reclamation made a tabulation of the cemetery on Aug. 2, 1948, before it was moved to its present location. This information is found at the Idaho State Historical Library.

1966 Survey

The Pine Cemetery was transcribed in 1966 by Dean & Iola Stocking and Utahna Randall. At that time they stated that the Cemetery was in poor condition. They noted that a good share of the markers were wooden crosses on which were once names and data, but most were fallen to the ground and the inscriptions were beyond copying. Of those named above, they copied the following graves. Their transcription can be found at the Idaho State Historical Library, indexed under Elmore County Cemeteries.

Daniels, Elsie Virginia
Deckard, Baby
Ethell, John A.
Lester, William
McGuire, John B.
Ottenheimer, Sanford
Schraft, Oscar
