There were no cemeteries in the area at the time of his death. He was buried on the south side of his land. This land has since been known as the Rupert Cemetery. A young Hunt boy who died as a result of a rattlesnake bite was among one of the first graves. Glenna Robertson, age 12, was accidentally shot and died instantly was also buried there. Some of the other people buried in early years were members of the families of Rupert, Cannon, Nickols, and Simon Dixon. Surveyed by Verla Blackledge on February 2, 2006.
