IN MEMORIAM.  The death list, within the years here shown, must fall very far 
short of the facts.  For the following years the stones and records of 
cemeteries partly supply the lack of official registration.  Even after 
cemeteries were laid out and dedicated many of the dead were buried in small 
private enclosures, some of which must have been plowed over for a half 
century - whatever reservation may have been made at the first sales of the 
including farms.  Rains soon beat down and grass and weeds hide unvisited, 
uncared-for graves, and white man has not more reverence for the resting places 
of strangers of his own race than for those of the conquered or cheated heathen 
tribes.
