This is the front gate of the cemetery now but not way back then, I have learned a lot about this cemetery and how it was established. I know why the people from the Wood River massacre was buried here now. This is the site of one of the first Baptist churches that was built in this area. There was five of them. The minister of this little meeting house was William Jones and his wife was Elizabeth, and yes they are both buried here. Mr. Joseph Vaughn owned the land, he sold them 1 1/2 acre and donated a half acre and twenty rods, the land was sold for $5.00 an acre. Mr. Vaughn and his family also are residents of this cemetery. The other site also talks about John Rattan and yes he also is buried here. The Moores and the other families in this area all attended this little Baptist church.


The four photos to the right was taken on my second trip to the cemetery.
