Gone but not forgotten
This was the only grave found in the area.
The grave is located on the Bar R Ranch owned by Ruel and Joyce Sanders
in the area known as "The Dairy Pasture". The land was sold but surely
the grave is preserved. When the grave was discovered, Ruel had sold some
gravel and in that process the grave was discovered. He immediately told
them not to get gravel in that area and as long as he lived, he protected
the grave.
