There was an original
town called Puntney, which was later changed to Puntenney.
There was a Post
Office from 1893 to 1932. According to Az. Place names George Puntenney built
the first lime kiln at this site.

It is simple to reach
if you read a map right. Which I was having trouble doing, mistaking one road for
another. Take 89 north past Paulden. Take a right on an unmarked road just
past mile marker 344. Follow the road for .9 miles and take a left at the
intersection on FSR 9042P for .2 of a mile to reach the cemetery. The cemetery
is fenced off by 4 strands of barbed wire and a zigzag gate to keep out the
cows and other big creatures.

It
has 34 graves, there is only one marked grave. That marked grave is of a young
boy. The inscription is written in Spanish. Translated it reads:

TRANSLATED Infant Son |
Grave of Gabriel G. Felix (Male)

There is a grave
fenced in with wrought iron and 2 graves next to each other who might have been
husband and wife.

Besides that the
other graves are mostly just small rock used to cover the graves. Several of
them had small American flags on them. They are well worn and probably put
there several years ago.

There are several
trees within the cemetery and a few of them have been cut down, with the
branches thrown off to the side and the thicker parts hauled off for firewood.

The cemetery map
shows what I was able to ascertain about the gender and age of the interred.
There were several graves where I was unable to get significant research
results. But due to the size of the grave I determined whether it was a child
or an adult.
If not for the well
worn sign and the marker and wrought iron fence I would have thought it was
just a corral as I passed by. That is how well worn down derelict it is.
