Grafton Cemetery

The ghost town of Grafton is not far from Zion National Park. Something unique about this cemetery is that many of the tombstones
say 'killed by Indians', carved along with the name of the person and date of his or her death. I have never seen this done
before in any of the old cemeteries I have explored. Helps give a greater understanding of how brave and determined
these people were who settled in these areas, facing such dangers at that time. Here, you can see the inscription.

Hi Mindy,
What a wonderful find and capture. This is the first time I've heard of that being on tombstones. How interesting. \/
