Woodson County pioneer graves scattered across the county
Yates Center reports lonely pioneer graves along Owl creek and Turkey creek, with many marked by weathered native stones. Notable sites include Emily Condict near the George Ferree farm, William H. Ewing grave by Owl creek, unmarked burials by US Highway 75, and a hilltop site with Indian and settler legends. Accumulated tales tell of Hope, an Osage chief, and a trio of horse thieves killed by vigilantes near Verdigris.
