Nounan, a community in the present Bear Lake County of Idaho had a very small civic center, if ever it did at all. Two cemeteries were recorded, the Chugg Cemetery and the Skinner Cemetery. To find the Chugg Cemetery I had to climb through a gate and walk through a field planted and irrigated for alfalfa. The memorial stones were in an area unplanted but overgrown. The stones did not appear to represent burial sites any longer, though I am not certain. I did not stop at the Skinner Cemetery, which from the road appeared maintained. I do not recall the year I made that trip. It was at least 20 years ago, being part of a circuit trip to locate Idaho Chugg locations.Philip Chugg and his family settled in that area and were closely aligned with the Skinner family.
