Single Graves and Abandoned Cemeteries, El Paso County, Colorado http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/elpaso/cemeteries/rural/single.txt Donated to the Colorado Archives by the Pikes Peak Genealogical Society, October 21, 2000 Questions may be directed to: Cemetery Project, Pikes Peak GS, P.O. Box 1262, Colorado Springs, CO 80901 ---------------------------------------------------- Bouma/Briggs Grave This solitary broken marker is located on Star Ranch, a private camp owned by Youth With a Mission. It's located at 5250 Star Ranch Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80906. To reach the camp from Colorado Springs, drive south on Highway 115 (Nevada Blvd.); turn right at Broadmoor Bluffs Drive, right onto Farthing Drive, left onto Langdale Way, right at the small sign for Star Ranch, and follow the gravel road to the ranch. The marker is south of the dining hall between a pine tree and a stone shed. According to GPS-derived geolocation (accurate to within 10 meters), the grave's coordinates are 38 45 21.5 N and 104 50 16.0 W. The elaborately carved marker face has two unusual clumps of concrete attached. No Bouma or S. Briggs families were found in the 1870 Colorado census. The inscription reads: MARTHA A. DAUGHTER OF _.G. & IDA BOUMA, the addopted dau. of S. & Phebe BRIGGS, DIED Oct. 1, 1872 Aged 7 years. She being dead, yet speaketh. ---------------------------------------------------- Conlow Grave According to Fort Carson: A Tradition of Victory (page 59), a small book published in 1972 by the Public Affairs and Information Office, Fort Carson, Colo., the single grave of a Conlow boy is located south of Turkey Creek Ranch on Fort Carson about 75 feet from the White Grave. The burial reportedly was made in the late 1890s. It is marked only by a ring of encircling rocks. ---------------------------------------------------- Colorado City No. 1 Cemetery Said to be the first cemetery in the Colorado Springs area, this cemetery was established in 1859. It was located on a ridge between Red Rock Canyon and the old Colorado-Philadelphia reduction works, northwest of the present junction of 31st Street and Highway 24. The site was chosen because it protected burial parties from surprise attack by Indians. It was abandoned because during the winter the ground was too hard to dig. ---------------------------------------------------- Colorado City No. 2 Cemetery Said to be the second cemetery in the Colorado Springs area, this cemetery was established in 1859. It was located at old Jefferson and Lincoln Streets, currently in the block between 25th and 26th Streets and West Pikes Peak and West Kiowa Avenues in Colorado Springs. It was abandoned in 1869 and all burials reportedly moved to the Old County Cemetery. ---------------------------------------------------- Old County Cemetery a k a DRG Cemetery Located at what is now Sierra Madre and Vermijo Streets in Colorado Springs, this cemetery was established in 1860. M.D. Ormes's Book of Colorado Springs (Colorado Springs: Denton Printing Co., 1933) says that by the time Colorado Springs was established in 1871, there were between 200 and 300 graves on less than an acre of ground, which was clearly visible from the Denver & Rio Grande railroad depot. Because the new city was being promoted as a health resort and such a scene was startling if not disconcerting to new arrivals, the city closed the cemetery and moved the burials to Evergreen Cemetery. ---------------------------------------------------- Crawford Grave According to an article in the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph (October 25, 1969, page 18C) Emma Crawford came to Manitou Springs with her mother in the late 1880s. The young woman suffered from tuberculosis, and Manitou was famous for its "cure." She was engaged to be married to a man named Hildebrand or Hiltbrand, who was a civil engineer helping to build the Pikes Peak Cog Railroad. They planned on being married as soon as Emma recovered. Emma and her mother lived in a home on Ruxton Ave. where she could see Red Mountain, south of the town. The Crawfords were spiritualists who believed they each had an Indian guide, and one day Emma believed she saw her guide beckoning to her from the top of Red Mountain. Despite her condition, she climbed the peak and tied a scarf to a small tree at the top to prove she'd been there. Emma died a few days before her wedding date, in the summer of 1890, and her fiance attempted to fulfill her wish that she be buried at the summit of Red Mountain. Unable to obtain a deed, he recruited 12 men (one of whom, Bill Crosby, was interviewed for the article) to carry her casket to the top of the peak and buried her there anyway. After that, Crosby said so many spiritualists climbed the peak to wait for her spirit that they wore a trail. In 1912, her casket was moved to the south slope of the mountain when the Louisville and Nashville Railroad decided to build an incline railroad (which later failed) to the summit. In August 1929, heavy rains washed out the gravelly slope in which she was interred and two boys found her skull exposed. Her bones were collected and deposited in the Manitou City Hall. According to the 1969 article, they gathered dust there for two years while officials vainly tried to find family members. Then Crosby reburied her remains in Manitou's Crystal Valley Cemetery, although she doesn't have a marker. The 1929 articles suggests the reburial was imminent, but doesn't explicitly state she was reburied then. This reburial is recorded in Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph articles of August 6, 1929, page 2; August 7, 1929, page 14; and August 16, 1929, page 6. The 1969 article includes a photo of Emma and the group of men who carried her coffin to the top of the mountain. ---------------------------------------------------- Falcon Cemetery This cemetery was located southeast of the town of Falcon in Section 7, Township 13 South, Range 64 West. No markers remain of the three or four graves located here. ---------------------------------------------------- Flynn Cemetery This cemetery is located on Jones Road, about nine miles south of Peyton. To reach it from Colorado Springs, go east on Woodmen Road and south on Meridian Road. Turn left at Falcon Highway and proceed east for three miles. Turn right at Curtis Road and left onto Jones Road. The single marker left in this cemetery is visible in the tall prairie grass on the south side of the road about 0.2 mile east of the intersection of Jones Road and Cathys Loop. It's between the road and a house with the address 16215 Jones Road. According to GPS-derived geolocation (accurate to within 10 meters), the marker's coordinates are latitude 38 53 46.2 N and longitude 104 31 26.7 W. The Colorado Cemetery Directory says Flynn Cemetery once had about 16 graves, but only one marker remains, and it looks like a replacement stone. Farmer Russ Nicklin remembers a second marker that was stolen several years ago. The existing marker reads: JOHN B. VAN TUYLE 1827-1899 According to his obituary (Colorado Springs Gazette, weekly edition, February 8, 1899, page 3), the El Paso County pioneer named Jonathan B. Van Tuyle died of "la grippe" (influenza) on February 1, 1899, at Surber, a community between Peyton and Ellicott. ---------------------------------------------------- Harkens Grave The Harkens grave is located on the east side of Highway 115, about 5.8 miles south of the main entrance to Fort Carson, southwest of Colorado Springs. Visible from the road, it is ringed by a white fence set on a small rise and crowded by scrub oak. According to GPS-derived geolocation (accurate to within 10 meters), the memorial's coordinates are latitude 38 40 16.3 N and longitude 104 51 30.2 W. The original marker has been embedded in a larger tombstone-shaped concrete marker. Faint lines from the original inscription are visible but not genuinely legible on the lichen-covered stone. In 1939, the Colorado Springs Gazette published an interview with Henry Priest, who was a boy when he helped bury the murdered Henry Harkens (January 22, section 2, page 8). Harkens was about 55 when he moved to what later came to be known as Deadman Canyon. Priest had previously known him in Buckskin, Colo. Harkens and his partnersûAlden Bassett, McPherson, and Juddûhad bought a sawmill in Ca±on City and were moving it to the canyon. Harkens was building a cabin there, and he welcomed the Priest family when they moved nearby on March 12, 1863. On March 19, 1863, Harkens worked all day on his cabin. As he was preparing supper, the two Espinoza brothers, Mexican bandits who were terrorizing the region, attacked and killed him. McPherson and Bassett discovered the body later that evening. Fearing the unknown murderer or murderers still around, they took refuge with the Priest family that night. The next day the murder was reported and 25 local men gathered to survey the scene and bury the body. "We chose a spot on a little knoll under a sheltering pine tree," Priest reported. "And on a rough headstone we carved the words: æHenry Harkens, Murdered Wednesday Eve, March 19, 1863.'" (March 19, 1863, was a Thursday.) The bandits were eventually tracked to Espinosa Peak, near Cripple Creek. The older one was killed, but the younger brother escaped. In addition to Harkens's glasses and personal items from other victims, the elder brother was said to have had a document on his person pledging to kill 600 whites in revenge for the loss of their money and property during the Mexican war. The younger Espinosa reportedly returned to Mexico, recruited a 12-year-old nephew, and returned to his quest. Both were killed near Fort Garland, Colo., by a marksman who received reward money put up by the state. ---------------------------------------------------- Helen Hunt Jackson Memorial Novelist and poet Helen Hunt Jackson is best remembered for Ramona, a novel described as "a romantic study of Spanish patriarchal life in California [that] immediately became famous for its protest against governmental cruelty to Native Americans." She was born Helen Maria Fiske on October 14, 1830, in Amherst, Mass. (although the marker reads 1831). She married first Edward Bissell Hunt (15 June 1822û2 October 1863) on October 28, 1852, in Boston. She married second William Sharpless Jackson (16 January 1836û4 June 1919) on October 22, 1875. She first came to Colorado Springs in 1873 for her health and considered the city her home for the rest of her life. She died August 12, 1885, in San Francisco. At her request, Jackson was buried October 31, 1885, at Inspiration Point in scenic South Cheyenne Canyon, southwest of Colorado Springs. According to GPS-derived geolocation (accurate to within 10 meters), the memorial's coordinates are latitude 38 46 51.9 N and longitude 104 52 36.7 W. Because the scores of people flocking to her gravesite were threatening the natural beauty of the canyon, her remains were moved to the family plot at Evergreen Cemetery on November 7, 1891. The land is now part of Seven Falls, a privately owned recreation area that charges an entrance fee. The plaque on the large mound of rocks that was her original burial site reads: IN MEMORY OF HELEN HUNT JACKSON 1831-1885 AND HER BOOK "RAMONA" WHICH WAS INSPIRED BY THE BEAUTY OF THIS SPOT There is also a memorial plaque for a former Seven Falls owner at the Inspiration Point overlook itself: MELVIN STANLEY WEIMER FEB. 1, 1905 - MAR. 13, 1982 LIVED IN-LOVED AND OWNED SEVEN FALLS FOR FORTY YEARS ---------------------------------------------------- Jimmy Camp Coal Mine Cemetery The exact location of this cemetery with four or five graves is unknown. Jimmy Camp is located east of Colorado Springs, northwest of the junction of Highway 94 and Jimmy Camp Creek; the cemetery is probably in Section 9 or 10 of Township 14 South, Range 65 West. The abandoned coal mines are thought to be south and southeast of Jimmy Camp. ---------------------------------------------------- Jimmy Camp Graves During the early May blizzard of 1858 that killed Fagan (see Fagan's Grave), a Mexican herder named Felipe Abeitia or Abeyta also met his demise. He dug a hole in the bank of Jimmy Camp Creek and crawled in, hoping to escape the storm's fury. But he froze to death and was buried at Jimmy Camp, an early trading post and way station located east of what is now Colorado Springs. His marker soon disappeared. The name and account of the death and burial come from an interview Colorado College professor Francis W. Cragin conducted with an old mountaineer, Felipe LeDoux, who had been a guide with the Marcy-Loring Expedition of early 1858. Cragin's papers are at the Pioneers Museum in Colorado Springs. Gold was discovered the next year in Colorado, and various gold- seeking parties took up the cry "Pikes Peak or Bust!" One party, which started on the Santa Fe trail, stopped for a sad task at Jimmy Camp. Diarist Dr. George Willing wrote on June 9, 1859: "At Jim's Spring, fifty miles south of Auraria; on Thursday, June 9th, we deposited in their last resting place, the remains of Thomas Alexander, from Montgomery County, Missouri. He had been ill nine days of bilious remittent fever, and though every attention was bestowed on him that circumstances permitted, yet nothing could avert the fatal shaft. His death made a painful gap in our little party, for he had been a general favorite with the whole train. We buried him beneath the shadow of the Peak he had toiled so anxiously to reach. It seemed a pity he could not have been spared only a little longer."(1) For a time, Jimmy Camp was known as Alexander's Grave, but it too was soon forgotten. Richard Gehling has a very informational Web site on Jimmy Camp at . The graves come in for special attention at . 1. George M. Willing, "Diary of a Journey to the Pike's Peak Gold Mines in 1859," Overland Routes to the Gold Fields, 1859, ed. by Leroy R. Hafen (Glendale, CA: Arthur H. Clark Co., 1942), p. 372. ---------------------------------------------------- Liptrap Grave The Liptrap Grave is located just south of Simla, near the El PasoûElbert county border. As you enter Simla from the west on U.S. Highway 24, turn south on Road 125 (or Washington Avenue), which is just west of the baseball field. Go two blocks and turn left on Summit Street. Follow road for 1.4 miles. A gate at the end of the field on the south leads to the grave, which can be seen from the road. The grave is one-quarter of a mile from the road and is located on top of a knoll surrounded by farmland. According to GPS-derived geolocation (accurate to within 10 meters), the grave's coordinates are latitude 39 07 27.4 N and longitude 104 04 13.8 W. The marker is enclosed by a wrought-iron fence. Other Liptrap family members are buried in the Ramah Cemetery. According to owner Morris Ververs (P.O. Box 878, Westcliffe, CO 81252), Mrs. Liptrap walked the top of this knoll to watch for Indians. The marker reads: ELLEN S. LIPTRAP BORN APR 1852 DIED NOV 7, 1899 ---------------------------------------------------- McGlothin Grave According to Fort Carson: A Tradition of Victory (page 59), a small book published in 1972 by the Public Affairs and Information Office, Fort Carson, Colo., the grave of Jim McGlothin, who died in 1872 at age 12, is located several miles south of Turkey Creek on Fort Carson in Township 17 South Range 66 West. His father once owned the land on which is buried. ---------------------------------------------------- Owen Grave According to Fort Carson: A Tradition of Victory (page 59), a small book published in 1972 by the Public Affairs and Information Office, Fort Carson, Colo., a grave with a small stone marked "Owen" is located south of Teller Reservoir near the southern boundary of the military reservation. According to the book, the person died in 1923. ---------------------------------------------------- Powers Graves The Powers graves are located on a private ranch on the plains southeast of Colorado Springs. Take Highway 94 east for 12 miles to Peyton Highway. Turn south and proceed for 15 miles to Powers Road. Turn right and drive two miles to the end of Powers Road. The marker is inside a small fence a stone's throw northwest of the northwest corner of the farmhouse, inside the fenced yard. According to GPS-derived geolocation (accurate to within 10 meters), the marker's coordinates are latitude 38 37 16.1 N and longitude 104 29 50.6 W. For permission to enter the property, contact owner Jack Elwell, 2220 Lee Cir. Dr., Woodland Park, CO 80863, (719) 687-9838. The plot includes a marker for and the remains of Myrl L. and Doris E. Milne Powers, who ranched the Bar N Quarter Circle Ranch. According to her obituary (Colorado Springs Gazette, May 14, 1999), Doris was born July 27, 1912, in Longmont, Colo. She and Myrl married on May 13, 1940, in Colorado Springs. Caretaker of the nearby Chico Basin Cemetery, Doris died May 12, 1999, in Colorado Springs. According to his obituary (Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph, December 30, 1986, page B2), Myrl Lee Powers was born April 13, 1909, in Bayard, Kan. He came to Colorado as a baby when his parents, Nathan James and Mary Corbin Powers, homesteaded near Holly. He died December 27, 1986, at his home on the Bar N Quarter Circle Ranch. The marker reads: POWERS DORIS EVAJANE MYRL LEE JULY 27, 1912 APRIL 13, 1909 MAY 12, 1999 DEC. 27, 1986 ---------------------------------------------------- Rural Cemetery No. 1 No markers remain at this burial ground located in a grove of pine trees at the southeast corner of Scott and McClelland Road in eastern El Paso County. To reach the site, from Colorado Springs drive east on Highway 24 past Peyton. Turn right at McClelland Road. Proceed two miles south past Scott Road, and the grove is close to the road on the left about a tenth of a mile past the intersection of Scott and McClelland. According to GPS-derived geolocation (accurate to within 10 meters), the site's coordinates are latitude 38 59 48.0 N and longitude 104 24 13.3 W. For permission to access the site, contact owner Norma Scott, 22692 Scott Road, Calhan, CO 80808. The trees were planted by John Scott, father of Norma Scott, after a 1965 flood threatened to wash out the burials. The graves were there when he bought the land in the mid-1930s and they are said to be those of an older man and a baby of a hired hand. The Scott sisters remember family members coming to visit the graves until about 1990. They also believe the baby could be the burial erroneously labeled "Scott Grave" in the Colorado Cemetery Directory, as they know of no little girl Scott buried on what was formerly their father's land. A neighbor, Florence Pohlson, recalls hearing that four or five members of the Redmond family are buried here. The Directory says the graves here were possibly burials of the Redmond family that owned the land about 1903. William Redmond bought the northwest quarter of Section 24 from the government on January 26, 1893, for $10 per acre. Patent no. 4390 was issued for the land on July 16, 1900.(1) In June 1900, Caroline Redmond, 56, was living in this district with her son, James, 18, born in Michigan. An Indiana native, the widow Caroline was the mother of 13 children, ten of whom were living. She owned her farm free and clear.(2) Caroline Redmond, "widow of William Redmond," recorded with El Paso County the patent for her homestead on the northwest quarter of Section 24, Township 12 South, Range 63 West, the location of these graves, on October 16, 1903.(3) She died less than a month later, on November 13, 1903, in Colorado Springs. Her funeral was held November 15 in St. Mary's Catholic Church and she was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Colorado Springs.(4,5) On March 2, 1907, son James Redmond quitclaimed rights to the land to John F. Mullaney. The document names all ten of Caroline's heirs: sons James, Peter, Thomas, Edward J., Sylvester, and Joseph Redmond and daughters Maud M. Piper, Nellie Lehman, Margaret Lorraine, and Loretto Finley.(6) Mullaney and his estate continued to own the quarter section with some interruptions until it was deeded to John and Kathryn Scott. It's very likely that the older man said to be buried here is Caroline's husband, William Redmond, an Irish immigrant who died before June 1900. There is no record of an obituary for him in the Gazette index, nor is there a burial record for him in the Evergreen Cemetery index. 1.

James Redmond quitclaim deed, Book 433, page 409, El Paso County recorder's office, Colorado Springs, Colo. ---------------------------------------------------- Scott Grave This single grave is reported by the Colorado Cemetery Directory to be that of a little girl, surnamed Scott, whose father accidentally ran over her with a iron-wheeled wagon. It was thought by the compilers to be possibly located in Section 15, Township 12 South, Range 63 West, and the owner's name is given as John Scott, who owned and farmed land in Sections 14 and 24, Township 12 South, Range 63 West. However, in September 2000, John's daughter Norma had no knowledge of a burial of a little girl Scott on property that was her father's, nor did John Scott ever own land in Section 15. She says it may be a confusion with a baby girl, the child of a hired hand, who is buried in what's known in the Directory as Rural Cemetery No. 1, which is also on land owned by her father and now herself. Considering the evidence, it's possible this burial site never existed. ---------------------------------------------------- Shone Memorial The Shone Memorial is located in southeastern El Paso County. From the eastern edge of Colorado Springs, take Highway 94 east for 24 miles; turn south on Edison road and go 10 miles; then turn east on Shear Road and go three miles. The marker is on the southwest corner of Shear and Whittemore Roads, fenced off with a pipe barrier from a pasture. According to GPS-derived geolocation (accurate to within 10 meters), the grave's coordinates are latitude 38 41 39.7 N and longitude 104 06 32.0 W. Edward "Teddy" Shone was born in England, spent time in South Africa, then journeyed to Colorado in 1900. In 1916 Shone and a partner built a store at the corners of Shear and Whittemore Roads; Shone operated the store, which sold groceries and gasoline, until 1948 when his health declined. At his request, his ashes were scattered near his store, which was later torn down. In 1969, friends George Whittemore and Sam Lindt erected a permanent monument to his memory. It reads: IN MEMORY OF ED SHONE WHOSE ASHES WERE SCATTERED TO THE FOUR WINDS 1875 û 1951 ---------------------------------------------------- Squirrel Creek Cemetery Squirrel Creek Cemetery is an abandoned cemetery located on private land about three miles north of Myers Road and about one mile west of Squirrel Creek Road in Section 20, Township 16 South, Range 62 West. No records exist. The Colorado Cemetery Directory notes that in 1985 the only known burial was one dated 1905 and that Squirrel Creek post office was in operation 1911-1916. The WPA index to veterans buried in El Paso County notes the following Squirrel Creek burial: William R.M. Manning, Co. A, 9th Tennessee Cav. He was born in 1825 in Ohio and died December 30, 1905, in Colorado Springs of senile dementia. He lived at 732 E. Costilla St., Colorado Springs. A private, he enlisted in the army August 13, 1863, and was discharged September 11, 1865. The WPA personnel recorded the marker information in December 1939 and noted that it was located 76 feet north of the south fence and 29 feet east of the west fence. In Mesa Cemetery (page 28), James Taylor cites an undated 1939 clipping regarding the WPA veterans' indexing project: "In one cemetery in the Squirrel Creek district are but two graves, one that of a veteran and the other of a colored man, probably the soldier's man-servant of the early days." ---------------------------------------------------- Titus Graves The Colorado Cemetery Directory reports that the grave of Maggie Titus is located east of Colorado Springs, just north of Highway 94 in Section 9, Township 14 South, Range 64 West. However, according to granddaughter Mary Titus Cantrell, Maggie's twins, who died at birth, are buried there. Mary's father, Thomas V. Cantrell, born in 1900, remembered their birth and death, so they were probably born about 1906-7, Mary says. The twins, probably girls, were said to have been buried north of a hill on the west side of Curtis, about 0.6 mile north of Highway 94. If there were markers, they have now disappeared. Charles Beetham pointed out the general location of the grave, northeast of the intersection of a former fence line and a faint, curving road track in a field filled with soapweed. According to GPS-derived geolocation (accurate to within 10 meters), the graves' approximate coordinates are latitude 38 50 49.9 N and longitude 104 33 23.0 W. Beetham, a stepgrandson of Maggie Titus, says his stepfather, Murriel A. "Buster" Titus, showed him the grave site the late 1940s. He recalls that it was one girl who is buried here and that she was probably less than a year old. He believes the burial took place about 1911-12. Margaret A. "Maggie" Titus (1870-1958) and her husband, Perry Henry Titus (1865-1913), are buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Colorado Springs. They homesteaded land northwest of the corner of Curtis Road and Highway 94. In addition to the twins, they had 12 boys and three girls. ---------------------------------------------------- Washington Catholic Cemetery In 1879, Frank Finnegan purchased land and donated a portion of it to the Catholic church for use as a cemetery. The cemetery was located 924 W. Pikes Peak Avenue, north of Ninth and Tenth Streets and Pikes Peak Avenue in Colorado Springs. He sold adjoining land to H.T. Williams in 1886, and ensuing friction about the cemetery prompted the city to deed a portion of Evergreen Cemetery to the Catholic church. All burials were then moved to Evergreen Cemetery. ---------------------------------------------------- White Grave According to Fort Carson: A Tradition of Victory (page 59), a small book published in 1972 by the Public Affairs and Information Office, Fort Carson, Colo., the single grave of a boy surnamed White is located south of Turkey Creek Ranch on Fort Carson about 75 feet from the Conlow Grave. The burial reportedly was made in the late 1890s. It is marked only by a ring of encircling rocks. ---------------------------------------------------- World War II Prisoner-of-War Cemetery Located near Gate 3 of the current Fort Carson, this cemetery was used during World War II when Camp Carson housed a prisoner-of-war camp. After the war, all burials were shipped back to their homelands. =================================================== Contributed for use by the USGenWeb Archive Project (http://www.usgenweb.org) and by the COGenWeb Archive Project USGenWeb Project NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, this data may be used by noncommercial researchers, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
