Near the bottom of the hill on the Kasilof Small Boat Harbor Road there 
is an old weathered shack which has housed many fishermen during the 
years.  In a grove of trees in the back yard there are four graves, each 
fenced with small logs and each having a rounded wooden headstone about 
5 feet tall.  Three of the markers are still in place and very legible.

They are not maintained by anyone and no one having lived in the shack 
recently knows any of the history of these graves, but likely the men 
were all acquaintances and had compassion for each other to preserve 
their memories in this way.  Probably they were all fishermen in the 
area and with their Scandinavian similarities found themselves taking 
care of each other.
