Location:
Section 35, Township 41N, Range 29W - South Unorganized Township
History:
Saint James #2 Cemetery is an unusual Indian Cemetery in that it is located in the Little White River valley instead of the usual high hill overlooking such an area. It is fenced but in need of repair work. It is located along Highway 83 south of White River.
Some graves had been mowed around but, for the most part, it was overgrown with native grasses.
While it was planned for in 1933 when the Saint James Episcopal Church was build in the valley, it wasn't until 1942 that it had it's first burial.
