GLEANINGS FROM PARK COUNTY
Lenore Warren

This is a list of burials in the Buckskin Cemetery, which is claimed by Alma

It is the oldest cemetery on record in Park County, Colo.

 

The cemetery information below came from Page 20 THE FOOTHILLS INQUIRER - Volume 7. Number 1 - 1987

 

To get to the cemetery: Once you're inside the town of Alma look to the west for Buckskin Road. Turn onto it and you (maybe) will pass a sign for Kite Lake. Stay on Buckskin for about a mile and a half. You will see a water treatment area on your left and then a turn off on your right. That is the road to the cemetery. Follow it all the way back and ignore the crossroads.  (See map)

 

Go directly to the "Gateleys" in the Cemetery

 

Note: Emogene Gately, Fred Gately's wife, was a member of the Adrian family, who are buried close by.
