Photograph of a single, rectangular gravestone for John Anderson lying in the ground surrounded by nothing but ground brush. The grave lies at center. It reads, "JOHN ANDERSON 1862 - 1904." Three symbols are engraved on the bottom line of the stone. Ground covered in low brush sprawls into the distance.
