Cemetery?

[Mountain_Witch]

I was just wondering where people used to bury their dead up here in the old days?
Is or was there ever a cemetery in Wrightwood??

Wow, Excellent question! Maybe that's one more thing that shed used to be....

The shed of the dead, kewl....I wonder if I could charge admission without having to have a business license

This question is driving me bananas. I have poured through my ancient Wrightwood history book--The Mountaineers, by Pearl Comfort Fisher , to no avail. i tried to call a local historian John Swisher, who lives in Hesperia. There's no listing.
My best guess is don't dig up your yard if you live near the original site of the catholic church.

I became a resident of the area 30 years ago (reside elsewhere presently) deceased were most commonly if buried were buried in san bernardino.  across from st bernardines hospital you will find a very old cemetary, you may want to start your search there.  If not san bernardino, victorville was also the final destination.  otherwise, they were shipped back east to next of kin, or cremated.   hope info helps

...(lmho)..er, u-hem, actually, I believe as long as Wrightwood remains an unincorporated portion of San Bernardino county, no business license is required for your little endeavor.  Good luck.  I have found morbidity to be a facination of today's society.  You'll prolly get rich quick!

For the first time someone shed some light on the subject tonight.
I was told that Pinon Mesa is the area where indians buried a number of people years ago.

I would beleive that about Alaska, The same is true in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Gosh! We have a rabbit that has been sitting in our freezer for quite a while because we know what it's like to dig a deep hole in Wrightwood! 
Maybe they just cremated the dead to save themselves the back ache. Maybe they took them to somewhere with softer, less rocky earth.
Maybe aliens flew them away. 
Maybe they dug some holes, found a lot of actinlolite, sold it on Ebay and got rich, and forgot about the dead people. 
Maybe they used the raised platform burial that many midwestern native americans used.

Maybe I should bury the rabbit.
