Of them, 80 that only a very few are
growing at the present time. There
are, however, number OF native trees
and smaller plants on tho grounds.
| As Me- White anu mytelf made
close survey OF tne grounds today We
discovered among the bushwtol two
or three small headstone'; o q standing

number OF old graves are easily traced

easily accounted for on natural prinoi,
pies. At Mr.. Whites farm house there
arc preserved two huadstJues with in.

oil from tho oh cemetery and used 49,
| daolsteps by tenants who occupied the
premises some years ago. When MT.
Waite returned to his arm no was un-
aulo to place these stones whore they
stood originally; hence lac has Kept
them at INC house In order TO preserve
/ them.
AboutR quarter OF mile northeast
OF tho mDuamont on top VI the hill Is a
beautiful grove, In the outer elge OF
which Mr.. White pointed out tue
identical spot where the OH Mormon
meeting house OuCe stood. 10 appears
that at the time the Saints lived hero
| they cut down most OF the
timber 10 make farms, tut that they
| luit this cluster OF trees standing 10
give shade and protection 10 the spot
where they mrt together 20 worship
the Lord, In tine sumWtr season the
mcelings were sometimes hcld Ia tho
shade o, tho trees Instead Of inside the
meeting house. The fact that the place
now Il called Pisgah Grove, instead Of
Mount Pisgan,is due to the presence Of
said grove.
Mr.. Whites farm embraces most Of
ths ground where the main Mormon
settlement was situated ia lsij.62.
! The monument stands near the south
emf OF the farm. rhe old settlement
consisted Of one or moro rows OF houses

short sections u ieucing between them

iucloslng the "bis field" which lay
between the ridge aud Grant river,
that stream serving "a q fence ON the
vest side, especially IN times Of hish
