About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This plot contains the graves of 2 cattle rustlers caught by cowboys on what was, at the time, part of the JA Ranch. The cowboys were led by legendary rancher Charles Goodnight. The 2 rustlers were using a "running" iron (like a branding iron, but a running iron will alter an existing brand previously placed on a cow) at the time. The JA cowboys decided to hang both men, then bury them at the spot where they were hanged.

This plot is on private ranchland near the park entrance to Palo Duro Canyon; it is now part of the Elkins Ranch.
