I've recently found out there is a small cemetery in Flagstaff, called Peaceful Valley Cemetery.
I intend to go out there this weekend to investigate, photograph and document this graveyard.
From what I understand, it was used previously to Citizen's Cemetery in Flagstaff and, in fact, there were a few graves exhumed from Peaceful Valley and re-buried in Citizens when a housing development encroached on the graveyard.
I have discovered there was a recent burial there (February of this year), so the cemetery is still in use.
I'll be posting what info and photos I obtain.

Yes there is a peaceful valley cemetery, my parents and grandmother is buried there. I have been trying to find out who did the head stones for the graves, and where my grandmothers grave is since it is unmarked and no one to ask. I am not sure how the graves were laid out. I believe the family graves were 58,59,60. It is a shame to see the state of the cemetery we were there recently and took hours to address the graves.
Oh my gosh! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to answer this! I've been away.
If you contact me I will gladly help you find out information about this cemetery and the people there.
I intend to make this cemetery one of my projects for restoration and mapping. It is in disarray, and I believe I know how to find information on this cemetery, as I've been given a 'lead'.
Please contact me.

I was looking to possibly buy this land and renovate and reopen the cemetery a few years ago. In the process of doing so i generated quite a bit of documents and knowledge on the layout of the plots. I even started making a new map based on the compilation of this info. I don't know what the current status is of the land but if i can be of any help to someone looking for their loved ones please let me know.
