Old Trinidad Road Burial Site

Located on Don Burt Ranch, east of Rosser, along side the Old Trinidad Road.

Abstracted by Kathey Kelley Hunt & Don Burt on February 11, 1999

According to old-timers of the area, this place had as many as 12 graves circa 1910.  The site has dozens of small pieces of limestone and granite strewn about that were once grave markers.  It appears the place has been either vandalized or desecrated by cattle.

There are pieces of 3 tombstones at the site that have partial legible inscriptions, and only one tombstone intact.  It is white limestone and reads:

Maola Thomas gravestone
Maola A

The other tombstone pieces read:
