This 1890s family cemetery is on the homestead of John E. Long,
located in the NE1/4 Sec. 20, T1S, R43W, 6th P.M.  The cemetery is in
the northwest corner of the quarter section just off County Road 27
halfway between Roads HH and JJ. The land is privately owned.

From Wray follow US 385 south for five miles, follow the "Beecher
Island" signs to the left at Road 30, after four miles turn west off
the Beecher Road onto Road 27 for another half-mile.  The cemetery is
on the left.  From the road it appears to be on a raised island
containing tall grass and weeds in the plowed field.

There were only two surviving markers when I visited in April 2006.
There are two other known burials in the cemetery, all were members 
of the John Long family.

Ora E. Long    10 Jan 1893 - 2 Apr 1894
  Son of C.L. and M.J. Long

(single marker)
John E. Long      1838 - 1898
Sarah, "His Wife" 1842 - 1900

The other two known burials in this cemetery were:
Dolly Long  - died 1893
Amy Long   23 Nov 1892 - 10 Jan 1893

Photographs of the two stones can be found in the Colorado Tombstone
Photographs Project section of the USGenWeb Archives.
