She learned that they were buried in what is now the site of a small church at 7th and Juniper Streets. However, the burials were moved to the Old Part of the Elko Cemetery in 1910 or 1911. There were no markers for the graves and the person used a dowsing rod to search for their remains and estimated where they were buried.
