Boyd, an early prospector who died in 1917 in his cabin near Boyd Creek, and the first person to be buried in the cemetery.  Adam Boyd was born in 1863 and appeared  to have worked for the railroad until about 1911 when he turned to prospecting.

DIRTY SHAME SALOON (Yaak River Valley)

First established in a metal hut just outside the main gate of the Yaak Air Force Base in 1951.  A log building was  later built along the Yaak River Road which burned down.  The current building was built from a rumored  “five small structures jammed together” following that fire.
