*According to the family Corran was not a relative but worked as a ranch hand for the family for many years.

**Since 1996 three members of the Montieth family have been interred, including that of Eileen Montieth who did considerable research on the McKissick Family.

***Conflicting data - family states that Martha is buried at Secret Valley, yet on the other hand there is a marker for her grave in the Susanville Cemetery.
