Cemetery:           Arrow Cemetery, Grand County
Name:               R. M. Smith

The R.M. Smith grave site is just a short walk north of where the town of 
Arrow was located in Grand County. It is one of 4 graves but is the only one 
with a headstone. The headstone is much newer than the grave. There is no sign 
indicating the cemetery, just a small trail from the old town site to the four 
graves.

Inscribed on the headstone is:
R.M. Smith
June 28, 1842
Nov. 12, 1909

The town of Arrow (aka Arrowhead) started life as a railroad construction camp 
on the Moffat line over Rollins Pass (prior to the Moffat Tunnel).  It became 
a ghost town prior to 1920 when forest fires burned the buildings and wood 
grave markers.  The R.M Smith marker above is one of seven known burials in 
this abandoned cemetery.
