Weeded and Lonely Resting Place Near Vinita
An 18 year old grave near Vinita marked by a crude cross tells of a young mother who died during a pioneer movement to the public domain. Her husband and infant daughter endured hardship as the family split, with the child's care later entrusted to Oswego neighbors. The tale ends with the grave moved to Kansas City for burial in a formal plot and a marble memorial to the mother’s faith and hope.
