Camptonville Cemetery

YUBA COUNTY CEMETERIES

Camptonville Cemetery

Camptonville is a mountain community. One civil war veteran, John Purcel, was buried here before the cemetery was surveyed, so the fence was built around his grave. Elmer Stark Robinson Hall, who was born in 1880 and died in 1941, reportedly has two stones in this cemetery. One is for his leg, which was removed and buried after it was crushed in an accident with a runaway horse. The oldest known grave is for George W. Carather of Oakland Co, Michigan who died in 1854 at 17 years of age. The cemetery is not maintained year round, so at times can be rather overgrown. Be aware of snakes if visiting in the summer months.

Take Hwy 20 from Marysville toward Nevada City/Grass Valley. Turn left on Marysville Road. Marysville Road will turn right toward Dobbins at the Willow Glen restaurant. (If you go straight the road becomes Willow Glen Road and heads toward Brownsville.) Continue on Marysville Road to the end. Turn left at the stop sign onto Hwy 49. On the right will be a sign for Camptonville. Turn right on Cleveland Road. Take a right at the store onto Pike City Road, then a left onto Spencer Road. The cemetery will be at the very end of the street.
