An Old Grave Found.

As Chas. Bogue and Bert Carrick were riding in the hills near Lem Williams’ 
house, they notices an old wagon end-gate lying on the ground.  Examining it 
they found it was marked the grave of a Miss Martha Roberts who was buried 
there August 22, 1862.  She was 18 years 1 month and 16 days old.  As in those 
early days this portion of Idaho was entirely unsettled, it is evident she must 
have been buried there by parties who were passing through the country.  Where 
they came from and where they were going is of course unknown, and the decayed 
headboard alone remains to tell us the sad story of their sorrow at having to 
leave one of their number by the way. –Salubria Citizen.
