Text: There is no record as to where James is buried but it was probably the Old Elk City Cemetery. There was an orignal Elk City Cemetery whichis just across a small field to the south from the present cemetery. Supposedly this cemetery was started when the Mormons left Winter Quarters and headed for Utah. It is said that many died and were buried in an open trench. Early settlers were also buried there and the protection of the original cemetery was a battle for years, in the area. Until about 1884 when Moriris Purchase donated land for thepresent cemetery. Some of the remains were removed but by far not all. Having walked through the original cemetery area, no stones remain but there are depressed areas in the ground and evidence of planted flowers. There were pieces of broken stone but I am not sure if they were from tombstones. It is now occupied by cattle as far as I last knew and is definately private property.......Georgene Morris Sones... 15.Title: Genforum-Janette Josserand
