William Henry Click II We are constantly looking for descendants of pioneers that were buried in the lone

Pine cemetery and occasionally we hit the jackpot. This photo shows the Click

Family after installing a new headstone on the grave of their ancestor, William Click

II. Friends of Lone Pine Cemetery have been working on the restoration of the cem-

etery for over ten years and this is what makes all our work worthwhile!

Thank you Click Family, for honoring your pioneer ancestor.
