Within this enclosure are four graves, belonging to two women and two men. No records survive of their names, the time of their deaths, or their individual burial locations here, but they are believed to date to the gold rush days of 1862-1880. The reason they were buried here rather than in the main cemetery is said to be that the two men were hanged for stealing horses, while the two women were ladies of the night living on Canyon Creek who died in a spring flash flood.
