Frank Hicks, who first showed the cemetery to the El Dorado County Pioneer Cemeteries Commission in 1998, helped with the clean up. He is standing near the center of the Bentley-Parmeter Family Plot with the southeast corner post shown in the background. Frank's mother had placed a white cross in the plot in the 1970s.
