HISTORY

This cemetery was originally on private property.

The family that owned it, donated the property to the Gunlock Ward of the LDS Church.

When the church decided they should not be in the cemetery business, the property was transferred to ???.

This cemetery is currently managed very informally. Gail Humphries is the sexton. Maintenance is mostly done by community volunteer labor. Required funds are raised from the Gunlock rodeo.
