Rocky Cemetery
Lake George, Park County, Colorado, USA
Rocky/Caylor Cemetery is a small community cemetery with an estimated five burials situated roughly three miles west of Lake George on County Road 90 in the Adamans Creek drainage. J.D. Addleman, a mail station operator, resided in the area in the 1860s, and the creek through the area was named for him, misidentified on maps as "Adamans. In 1863 the Espinosa brothers killed Addleman. Park County cemetery historian Harold Warren reported Addleman's grave is in this cemetery, "outlined by rocks and sixty feet from Badger's grave." In 1873 Michael and Louisa Caylor began cattle ranching here; their homestead became a stopping point for freighters. The following year the ranch received a post office known as Rocky. Over time a few infants and children were buried in the cemetery, which also contains the 1897 marked grave of rancher and war veteran John Badger (mentioned above). A 2014 reconnaissance survey estimated the inactive
cemetery contained five burials."
