Star Cemetery

Gravestones of those who died along the Oregon Trail can be found in the Star Cemetery dating back to 1871. One marker is a hand-hewn stone, engraved with the name of Hester A. Riley, 1872. James and Jemima Ayers deeded the cemetery land to the community in 1900. The trustees were the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In 1901, a picket fence was erected, encircling the cemetery.
