ST. JOSEPH CEMETERY 
                           Logandale, Nevada 
  
  
  The St. Joseph Cemetery is located on a sand bench at St. Joseph and Whittwer 
  in Logandale. Records tell us that in the short span of a couple of weeks in the
  fall of 1865, five pioneers perished in the harsh, inhospitable land. Exactly 
  how many were buried here during this time we don't know. With the sand blowing,
  it is possible that some graves may have been lost. It seems that after the first
  year, burials were made at what is now known as the Overton Cemetery. According 
  to records, in the eighteen nineties there was a renewal of burials at this cemetery.
  We do know that both the Perry Davis Huntsman Family and the Joseph Smith Huntsman
  families buried their children there during this period. 
  
  Lee Huntsman, son of Perry Huntsman, during his retirement  took it upon himself as
  a hobby and a mission to visit and repair if he could, forgotten cemeteries and 
  graves. For the St. Joseph Cemetery, he made an 800 pound marker from granite and 
  cement. On this marker he listed those he knew were buried there. 
  
  This cemetery was the site of an Eagle Scout project in August, 1991, by 
  Nathaniel H. Robison who is a descendant of original St. Joseph Pioneers. Each 
  grave was given a wooden cross and the gating repaired along with a stone 
  lined walkway to the entrance.
