Winter Quarters Cemetary`





On to the Cemetary...I forget how many died in winter Quarters I just know it was a very large number. When they dug the foundations for the Temple and the Temple Presidents home they found many bodies. The Temple is right next to the cemetary and the President's home is across the street. So many died. There was only one original headstone, a girl with the last name of Porter. Ya Porter thought that was cool, the rest of the headstones were put in later by there posterity. Going there just solidified how much they really did sacrifice. If you enlarge the last picture you can read about Winter Quarters.

We were lucky enough to have the Winter Quarters temple as "our" temple for 4 years. Loved going there.
