Nepesta Cemetery is all that remains of the stage stop and post 
office (1876-1929) of the same name.  The first know burials were 
the six Erdman childern, all of whom died from diphtheria in 
March 1879, but there were probably a few early burials at this 
location. The cemetery is located on US Highway 50 about 25 miles 
(more or less) east of Pueblo, and sits off the south side of the 
highway a couple hundred yards or so.
