So we wondered if this information would be of any value to someone. Most of the people buried were not members of the church (LDS Church) and relatives have long since moved away. Modena is the train stop where President Lorenzo Snow came when he made that trip to St. George, told about in "Windows of Heaven." It is now almost a ghost town, but a few of we old timers hang on and try to keep things in order. Sincerely yours, Edna A.
