"An unverified story is told by members of the (Smith) family. A man showed up at the Rock House late one day mounted on a beautiful horse. Even more beautiful were the elaborate saddle and bridle, with embossed leather and silver trim. He took advantage of the invitation to spend the night, enjoyed supper and breakfast cooked by Aunt Hank, then headed west. A few days later his body was found out on the Plains, shot through the chest, but the horse and beautiful trappings were never seen again. Rather than bury the man on the Plains he was brought back to the Rock House and buried in the little cemetery."
