Under that was 12 foot circle fenced in. Eventually I ended up on this point to glass. There was a headstone That said here lies Mountain man Simon Tanner. He died in 1928. I asked the rancher some history on it. His wishes were to be buried on the point above his cabin at the cedar. Due to deep snow the people that found him packed him in the snow till the spring of 1929 and granted his last wish. Let me tell you the view from this spot to this day is the most majestic I Have ever laid eyes on. The rancher said a handsome offer was made from Oprah Winnfrey to purchase this piece but was turned down

A lot of the headstones I find near old cabin foundations here in New Jersey are like this one for a child who was born and died in 1804. The stone reads " J A mas born the yaer 1.8.4". Both the "W" in "was" being upside down and the spelling for year being "yaer" is common on old headstones around here. Possibly due to the large amount of Dutch settlers here at that point in time.

One day, the state police showed up at my office....they were doing an investigation. Someone took a small backhoe into the gravesite and dug up a half dozen graves. The police speculated that they were looking for gold dental fillings and jewelry. Old graves weren’t dug very deep.
