Sadly, the cemetery is in bad condition from vandalism and the ravages of time. I visited the cemetery on July 25, 2000, and on April 10, 2001. I have no connection with Frisco and none of the names are mine. Frisco was a silver mining town that began in about 1875 and was inhabited until about 1920. The cemetery has several dozen marble gravestones and a number of wood ones. None of the wooden markers are still legible. Gravestone data copied on 25 July 2000: Charles K.
