They lived in danger from hostile indians. Went hungry and cold. Endured all the hardships of pioneer life, worked to- gether to help subdue the wilderness and for more than half a century were permitted thus to labor together and to see savagery give place to civilization. Theirs a high place upon the roll of those hard pioneers whose toil and sacrifice made the wilderness to blossom and bear fruit. Theirs a record of long, blameslee, helpful lives (This bronze plaque is on the side of the larger marker) John McLaren Winslow Mary K Winslow, wife 16 Mar 1879 22 Dec 1959 5 Apr 1878 23 Nov 1945 Row 7 north to south 11 Sep 1976 John H Staats John W Staats d 28 Aug 1877 41 yrs d 23 Jul 1899 34 yr 5 mo 7 days Grace Staats Nellie, dau of J H & S L Staats d 1 Dec 1906 14 yr 1 mo 28 days d 12 Jan 1866 2 yr 2 mo 29 days Evangeline Spraktes 1 Dec 19 1 22 Aug 1902 Joe Jesse sister, Anna Jesse 1898 -
