Bowlen Cemetery listings
Located approximately 2 miles north of California on the east side of Highway 87. It is unclear whether this cemetery is on private property or not. Sometime in 2009-2010 a gravel entrance from the highway was constructed and the cemetery can easily be seen from Hwy 87.
This cemetery has 70 known burials with the earliest being William Bowlen in 1846 and the last Mitchell Loughridge in 1978. There are several burials that are unmarked noted with information from death certificates and newspaper obituaries.
