  over 
  and 
  Large 
  boulders 
  piled 
  on 
  top. 
  In 
  several 
  of 
  these 
  

   graves 
  the 
  skeletons 
  were 
  in 
  a 
  fair 
  state 
  of 
  preservation, 
  and 
  

   were 
  removed, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  articles 
  found 
  with 
  them. 
  

  

  Through 
  the 
  kindness 
  of 
  Mr. 
  William 
  Young, 
  of 
  Grantsville, 
  

   a 
  skeleton 
  of 
  a 
  Gosiute, 
  in 
  excellent 
  preservation, 
  was 
  obtained, 
  

   and 
  has 
  been 
  presented 
  to 
  the 
  Army 
  Medical 
  Museum. 
  It 
  

   may 
  be 
  stated 
  that 
  the 
  examination 
  of 
  the 
  rock 
  cemetery 
  at 
  

   Farmington 
  showed 
  that 
  the 
  inhabitants 
  of 
  the 
  eastern 
  slope 
  of 
  

   the 
  Wahsatch 
  Range, 
  in 
  Great 
  Salt 
  Lake 
  Valley, 
  followed 
  the 
  

   mode 
  of 
  rock 
  sepulture 
  from 
  this, 
  the 
  most 
  northern 
  point 
  vis- 
  

   ited, 
  to 
  below 
  Parowan, 
  a 
  distance 
  of 
  at 
  least 
  two 
  hundred 
  miles 
  

   southward, 
  and 
  it 
  seems 
  that 
  these 
  people 
  occupied 
  the 
  valley 
  

   long 
  subsequent 
  to 
  those 
  living 
  near 
  the 
  water 
  courses 
  who 
  

   constructed 
  the 
  small 
  mounds 
  on 
  top 
  of 
  which 
  were 
  the 
  rude 
  

   adobe 
  dwellings, 
  and 
  in 
  some 
  instances 
  used 
  these 
  huts 
  for 
  

   burial 
  purposes.
