The Jim Hill Graveyard is on a gentle rise about two yards north of the home of Jim Roberson, and about jalf a mile northeast from the Middle Fork of Bold Camp. James W (Jim) Hill and his wife are buried there, but their graves are not marked.

I was at this burying ground at fifteen minutes till eight, Thursday morning, September 10, 1936. Charlie Dotson was with me. We found a small plot of ground fenced inside a cultivated field, and completely overgrown with briers and bushes. There was no gates and I clomb over the high wire fence and fought my way to the two tombstones and copied the inscriptions
