Manton Cemetery

Way out in the middle of Tehama (te-HAY-muh) County, California is a little town you have to be driving to on purpose- Manton.

Anna Brown Hennessy, daughter of George and Josephine Brown, made her home here and is the only member of her family to be buried at the small Manton Cemetery. (March 2008- correction! Anna's daughter, Veronica, is with her now.)

If you were driving from Sacramento, California- you would go right up Hwy 5 to downtown Red Bluff. Exit right (East) on exit #649, Antelope Rd. Central Red Bluff, Hwy's 99 and 36.

Follow that about 2 miles, then take a Left (North) on to State Route 36. Follow that about 11 miles. Take a Left again (North) on Manton Rd, which is also County Road A6, follow that about 15 miles.

Just after Powerhouse Rd, there's a fork, left becomes Rock Creek, right turns into Forward Road, take the right. Follow that for a while until you find Manton School Road on your right and turn, South. You can't really miss the cemetery...

We haven't visited it in person yet, so we can't tell you exactly where Anna is, but she is there.
