Crown Hill Cemetery

Description

A description of the founding of Crown Hill Cemetery, one of the first cemeteries created in the Eagle Valley. "Enclosed you will find a brief sketch of the founding of Crown Hill Cemetery. I wanted you to know how we lived without a place for our dead, what we did without telephones, how we built our own coffins and how, at least one man could live among us and never really be known, and how a child grew to womanhood in those surroundings. There are other ways of telling the simple story but I thought this one quite effective." - Mabel Poage, 1889-1973.
