McKissick Family Cemetery

This is a private family cemetery located on the old Daniel McKissick ranch in Secret Valley, approximately 25 miles northeast of Susanville, California.

This information was compiled by Tim I. Purdy and first visited the cemetery on 20 May 1978

*According to the family Corran was not a relative but worked as a ranch hand for the family for many years.

**Since 1996 three members of the Montieth family have been interred, including that of Eileen Montieth who did considerable research on the McKissick Family.

***Conflicting data - family states that Martha is buried at Secret Valley, yet on the other hand there is a marker for her grave in the Susanville Cemetery.
