Lone Pine Pioneer Cemetery: "This cemetery was established in 1865 when Mrs. McGuire and her son were killed on Jan. 1, 1865, during the last battle of the 1860's Owens Valley Indian Wars. Those buried here were the Town's founders, including C. Begole and A. Johnson, who along with J. Lucas were the first to climb Mt.Whitney. Some members of the Diaz family are also buried here. Diaz Lake is located on the site of their 1870's ranch. The last burial was in 1905."
Take a moment and walk around the cemetery. Located at N 36 36.053 W 118 02.887 is the resting place of Rafael Diaz. From this area you can look to the west and see Mt. Whitney in the distance. At the far south east corner at N 36 36.035 W 118 02.853 you will find the markers for Archibald Livingston and Joseph White. When you leave the cemetery please close and secure the gate so roaming cattle cannot destroy it anymore.
