   Official Scenic Historic Marker
           Dawson Cemetery

This was the cemetery for the coal
mining town of Dawson.  Its grave
markers reflect the diverse immigrant
populations which came to this
country seeking a better life, and which
fueled America's industrial development.
Hundreds of identical crosses, which 
mark the graves of miners killed in
mine accidents in 1913 and 1923,
demonstrate the great sacrifices of
these pioneers.
