I have an obituary which is not clear and it mentions the Cawus Hill Cemetery. But, the spelling may be off on Cawus, the "w" may be a different letter or letters.

I can't find anything on the local websites to match it. Anyone ever hear of it??

Thanks alot!!!

There is a tiny community named "Camas Prairie" located in Sanders County, and it has a Camas Prairie Cemetery. I suspect that this is probably the cemetery the obit refers to:

According to the book "Names on the Face of Montana: The Story of Montana's Place Names," by Roberta Carkeek Cheney, first published in 1983:

"CAMAS (Sanders County) is near the border of Lake County. An early day post office was established in 1898 with Telesphore Demers as postmaster; it closed in 1957. The town was named for the abundant camas plant, a member of the lily family with an onion-like flavor. The Kootenai and Salish Indians used to come regularly to dig the bulb, which formeda staple of their diet."
"CAMAS Prairie (Sanders County), a few miles out of Camas, is on the Flathead Reservation. The name is descriptive. A post office operated 1910-20; William Boberick was the first postmaster."
