Some graves in the cemetery at Seven Rivers, 1988

Grave 1 - Occupant unknown

The coffin was of southern pine. Objects found with the well- preserved skeleton were a collar button, a metal buckle, cuff links set, some cloth, 25 square nails, and a fragment of cloth from a covered button. These are remains of a male about 20 years old, 5 feet tall, with a complete set of 32 teeth.

Grave 2 was thought to be the grave of John Beckwith

John Beckwith was shot in Pierce Canyon in 1879 by John Jones. Beckwith was buried at Pierce Canyon. In 1961, Beckwith's marker was at Paulleys Ranch in Malaga and a rancher planned to replace it on Beckwith's grave in Pierce Canyon. At some time after 1961, the stone was removed from Pierce Canyon and placed in the Seven Rivers Cemetery. It was found there and photographed in 1986. By January, 1988, portions of the stone has been removed from the Seven Rivers Cemetery. Excavation found no remains at all in the area of Grave 2.
