To reach cemetery from Santa, drive south about one mile. Just after the lumber yard on your right you will turn right or west onto Cemetery Road. Then right into the cemetery at the sign.

This cemetery is used by the small logging towns of Santa and Fernwood ID. Fernwood is further south a few miles. It is situated in the old community of Renfrew ID.

I found the cemetery in very good condition. It sits amid evergreen trees and the rows run diagonal, making it a bit difficult to keep track. I imagine it was laid out before the highway went in.

It appeared that there were many unmarked burials in all the rows. If anyone has a name I am missing I would be happy to add it.

I used my digital camera to read the cemetery, later I added names found from a previous record found in the Library in Boise ID. These are followed by and * asterisk and for which I have no photo. I walked the cemetery on Apr 22, 2005.
