"Uncle Hank giveth the best account of two other burials in the little cemetery. A man, his wife and a child were coming from the direction of Petersburg down into the canyon. The man had been warned to chain the wheels of the wagon to go down into the canyon, but he only used rope. The wagon lunged forward hitting the horse and causing the wagon to turn over. The family had a bachelor stove in the wagon, the stove caught the wagon on fire and the mother and child were burned beyond recognition. The mother and child were buried in the Rock House cemetery."
