"Guffey Cemetery (1897)
The unincorporated community of Guffey is located in southeast Park County about four miles from the southern county line. Guffey Cemetery, a community burial ground serving the area, lies near the center of the developed area, east of County Road 59/102 in a valley flanked by pine trees. The first burials occurred in 1897, a year after Guffey's creation, with thirty-year-old Thomas H. Burge sharing
a gravemarker with infant Buford Swope. A 2014 Park County reconnaissance survey form for the cemetery indicates that 'the Guffey community appears to have used the cemetery somewhat sparingly,' but the burial ground remained in use until 1945, resulting in an estimated thirty graves."
