Salt Lake City Cemetary

With the passing of our dear prophet Gordon B. Hinckley, I thought it would be good to take the grandkids and visit his gravesite. It was well worth the effort and good to see that so many others have had the same idea.
Ethan peeking over next to Joseph F. Smiths gravesite. There are 11 prophets buried in this cemetary and we did our best to locate all of them. They make it easier by having a map that you can pick up at the office on the southwest corner.
James E. Talmage was a cousin of Doug's grandma and his Dad remembered him dropping by the house when he was younger. We were unable to locate William Pitt, I suspect that his grave marker is gone. The area where it should be had well worn markers. I need to look into it.
Shelby and Jonas at Heber J Grants.
Janelle and Jenna at Spencer W. Kimball's, which of course is the prophet of their youth.

I saved the map and would like to go over it and make a plan and direction now that I am a little more familiar with the cemetary. It was a great trip and I highly recommend it. Great place for the kids, not to confined if you know what I mean.
