Boulder Creek I.O.O.F. Cemetery
At the end of Harmon road, the cemetery becomes obvious, as the large white gate is marked with a large 'I.O.O.F.'. The path winds up through a wonderful grove of redwoods, with graves scattered wherever they could be 'squeezed' in-between the trees. Some graves are perched on steep inclines.
The oldest gravestone dates to 1862 with Martha S. Peery. The Peery
family played a significant role in early Boulder Creek history, with Joseph
W. Peery serving as the first postmaster in 1837. He was buried here alongside
his wife in 1912.
Key Family names: Branson (4), Peery (5), Pilger
(7), Horstman (6), Hesse (6)
