This is an interesting cemetery, and you will find a single monument just inside the main entrance along the south fence line marking the grave of 10 of the 11 victims of the Freemont Mine Disaster of November 30, 1907. Thirteen miners were lowered to the 1000 ft level into a raging fire. It had ignited with the mine empty and smoke had been drawn into the adjoining Grover Mine. Two of the miners climbed out, escaping. One of the victims was buried at Diamond Springs. Also John Joseph Ekel (1840-1914) is buried here. He was a colorful lawyer, crippled in a shoot-out while representing the owner of a local bagnio. Later sentenced to San Quentin for assualt with a deadly weapon. Possibly responsible for the naming of Plymoth. We also found the following epitapth " Mark the perfect man and behold the upright for the end of that man is peace" and it is very near the cache. When placed it contained: Geo-Letter, Log, & Pencil Jump Rope Golf Ball y2k Bubbles Etch-a-sketch Tennis Ball
