Situated in secluded locations throughout the Great Plains, epidemic cemeteries stand as monuments to the resolve and fortitude of those making their way westward.

Years later, faithful family members risked great danger and returned to this sacred land to erect markers in an attempt to bring closure to an extraordinarily hard time.
