Katie Thompson, Mattie Thompson, and Josie Campbell were laid to rest on this site after all three children, grandchildren of Joseph Campbell, died of Scarlett Fever in 1877. Joseph Campbell was a prominent pioneer in this area, where his name remains on many locations. The original grave markers were intentionally destroyed sometime during the 1920’s by the owner of Gracie’s Tavern, who had grown tired of hearing about graves in her parking lot.
