legend reads:

In 1853, the original four blocks of this cemetery became the final burial ground for Provo pioneers who were first buried in Fort Field, Grandview and Temple Hill and later moved to this cemetery. Some residents preferred to leave their dead undisturbed. The known ones moved are Matilda and Geo. W Haws, Harriet M Turner, Wm. Dayton, Joseph Higbee, Katherine Radford, Jessee McCarred, Jacob Cloward, Martha Wheeler, Jacob H Barney, Matilda Park, Sarah and Wm McLane, Sally Norton, Joseph Ivy, Margarett Fausett, Emily Roberts, Louisa Follett, Abisha Ware, Jos. McEwan, Mary B Peay, and others.

legend reads in capital letters:
The original settlement at Provo (Fort Utah) was established March 12, 1849 by President John S. Higbee with Isaac Higbee and Dimick B. Huntington counselors and about 30 families or 150 persons sent from Salt Lake City by President Brigham Young. Several log houses were surrounded by a 14 foot palisade 20X40 rods in size with gates in the East and West ends, and a middle deck for a cannon. The fort was first locatd West of town, but was moved to Sowiette Park in 1950.

(The fort referred to is the mock-up but not a replica of a "fort" structure originally constructed in Pioneer Park.)
