Description
K. W. Jones homesteaded his ranch in the 1800's. He lived worked & died on Graces Creek in the Kettleman Hills. Mr. Jones made his coffin from a cottonwood tree, polished it by hand. He dug his grave and placed rocks and petrified wood around the lot in Grangeville Cemetery. When he died (about 1909) from a heart attack after a fall from his horse, everthing was prepared for his burial.
