This cemetery is located under U.S.Highway 50, about half way up Monarch Pass 
(new highway). The Colorado State Highway Department has reports on file that 
state no bodies were ever moved at the time the highway was improved in the 1930's. 

Frank GIMLETT, the "Hermit of Arbourville," states the same information in his 
series of booklets. Some of his information has been found to be incorrect, however, 
and must be used with caution. ("Over Trails of Yesterday - Stories of Colorful 
Characters That Lived, Labored, Loved, Fought and Died in the Gold and Silver West",
