The End of the Story

Although Julie Andrews sang that starting at the very beginning is a very good place to start, in the case of Alfred Great Barker, starting at the end will be better. Here was the end for Alfred:


What this grave marker reveals is that June was a significant month for Alfred. He was born June 3rd 1795 in Northampton, England and died some 78 years later on 8 June 1873. Because this charming grave marker was located in the Willard City Cemetery off of Box Elder County's "fruit highway" in northern Utah, the assumption can be made that he died somewhere close by and then was buried in Willard, Box Elder, Utah.

Stay tuned to discover who was buried right next door...
