The Ralston Cemetery is located in the vicinity of 64th Avenue and 
Eldridge Street.  It is situated along side a residential 
neighborhood and can be found by going south on Gardenia Street off 
64th Avenue.  Turn left on Holman Street and continue on to 62nd 
Avenue.  Turn left and the cemetery will be on your left after 
traveling approximately one block.  You will see it atop a small 
knoll to the east.

The first burial appears to have been in 1869.  Reports indicate that 
many burials were relocated to other cemeteries.  There is no 
recorded owned or custodian and the cemetery is unkept and overgrown.  
There are only a dozen stone markers and several wooden posts 
remaining.

A memorial was erected in 1995 by relatives and friends of the 
pioneers buried here.

All of the stones listed here have been photographed and are 
available on the US GenWeb Colorado Tombstone Photo Project page.
