Tami Amidon's family has taken care of Yutesler Cemetery for over 40 years. As far back as her Dad can remember there were only 4 marked graves in the cemetery. A grave was marked with a pipe but they have no idea who is buried there. The pipe was gone one time when they went to mow. Elizabeth Offenbarger's gravestone was vandalized and they found it by the gate. The parts for this stone have been in storage to prevent further damage to it. Tami has taken this stone to be repaired and it will be reset in the approximate area of the grave when the weather is warmer. They think there is an unmarked grave beside Elizabeth's but don't know who it is for. They were told Elizabeth Offenbarger was related to the Yutesler family but don't know how she was related. The last 2 graves that were known are the Yutesler graves. Tami's Grandpa Jack told them that he would see fresh graves quite often but none were ever marked and he never knew who was buried there. There is one unmarked grave in the southwest corner that they do know about. It is where Don and Ina Mintun's dog is buried. Tami Amidon's email address is: tamidon318@yahoo.com
