From Orofino drive east on Michigan Avenue, which turns into Konkelville Road. After about 2 miles turn left onto Grangemont Road, and continue past the Weseman Cemetery about 3 miles. Shortly after you pass the cemetery you will need to turn left onto the Lower Wells Bench Road. The cemetery will be on the left side of the road below the church.

The Wells Bench Community Church is on the east side of the road. The cemetery is below the church on the hillside. As one is driving by it is difficult to see if you are going too fast.

This cemetery was established in 1908 as this sign says. It may have owned by the church at that time. It is now under the Clearwater County Cemetery District. I found it very well maintained with a neat white fence surrounding it.

One of the names on FH markers was: Pine Hills Funeral Chapel, 939 Michigan Ave, Orofino, Idaho 83544 Phone: (208) 476-5228

I walked and read this cemetery on Jun 30, 2007 using a digital camera. This includes all existing and legible stones and markers at that time. Entries entered after are followed by an * asterisk.
