Location

The cemetery is located on the Buckeye Ranch, which is west of North County 
Road 15, east of the old town of Buckeye.  The grave is on the top of a hill 
and little west and north of the main group of ranch buildings, which are west 
the owner's home.  GPS coordinates are 
40 degrees,50 minutes, 13 seconds north, and 105 degrees, 05 minutes, 06 seconds west.  

Headstone

The headstone on the grave is a duplicate of the original headstone that the current
owner of the ranch, Eldon Ackerman, had made when the original one became so
weather-worn that it was in danger of becoming illegible.
