Killed by Jayhawkers Cemetery
The compilers of this reference document had not seen these graves
but several persons had told us about them. A friend, George McFatter, just
happened to have the information in his wallet and shared
it with us. Thank you, George!

COLLECTED BY GEORGE McFATTER
On April 16 1993, after many months of searching for these graves, we met
a young man who agreed to lead us to them. He is 13 year old Whitney Green.
We are most grateful to him. We drove west on the Longville Road from Dry Creek
About 4 or 5 miles to Tombstone Road. We parked at a locked gate [Whitney's
father is a member of the hunting club which leases this property] We walked
almost a mile to the grave site. Welborn Monument Co. placed headstones on these
graves several years ago making this a permanently marked part of history.
Originally there was a fence around the monuments But it has been removed.
