Grandma called him Hendrix not Henderson. She was probably old enough to have known him as a child. She'd spent her life in the area and in Basin, Wyoming. There was a simple wooden cross over the grave then, propped up by rocks and it had fallen over. I was not even aware we were near Grave Springs at that time so thanks for that info.

...Wow, great recollection! Thanks for posting it.<br /><br />As you no doubt know, the small stream that's near this location took its name from the grave, and is simply called Grave Springs. It's a spot I go by several times a year, working cattle.Pat Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05085914852278228313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378211050101354121.post-198771047258372842013-06-17T07:24:26.014-06:002013-06-17T07:24:26.014-06:00O my gosh!!!

Forty five years ago, after we had spent a really hard day fixing fence up east of Cherry Creek, my girl friend's grandmother and her employer (who was very elderly also)took us on a day trip and we went past this grave. There was no marker, but a wooden cross that had fallen over and Grandma told us the story and hobbled over to the cross and said "Here Henderson(she called him Henderson) I'll prop your cross back up you mean old s.o.b." HA HA. It was a fun summer up on the mountain with those 2 and I have a lot of fond memories of it.Merideth in Wyominghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10953715963384764551noreply@blogger.com
