Grafton Cemetery - Grafton UT - LDS Church History Sites on Waymarking.com

The Grafton cemetery is the final resting place for those who answered Brigham Young’s call settle the area.

"In 1859, Nathan Tenney led five families—the Barney's, Davies, McFate's, Platt’s and Shirts—from nearby Virgin to a site one mile downstream of today’s Grafton. The small community cooperated to plant crops, dig irrigation ditches and build homes—the idea was never profit, but rather community and faith. In 1861, as the U.S. Civil War began, cotton became scarce, and Brigham Young’s vision of Utah’s Dixie began to bear fruit."
