Update on Family History

While Debbie and I spent a very relaxing weekend in Pinetop/Lakeside, we decided to visit the cemeteries in Show Low and Lakeside, Arizona. In particular we were looking for the tombstone of one of my Mom's great-grandfather, Edmund Lovell Ellsworth. He led the first handcart company from Iowa City to Salt Lake City, Utah in 1856. I had seen mixed information as to the location of his grave. So, with the help from Aunts and Uncles on my Mom's side, we finally found the place. For those who show his burial is in the Show Low City Cemetery, that information is wrong. He is actually buried in what is now Show Low, but at the time of his burial, it was known at the Town of Adair, thus being buried in the Adair Cemetery. This cemetery is located between two beautiful homes near Fool Hollow Lake. Take Old Lindon Road to 22nd Avenue. Turn right onto 22nd Avenue and go towards where the road ends. Right before the end of the road is a concrete driveway that takes you into the driveways of the two homes. There you will see a wire fence and a medium sized sign that says "Adair Cemetery." Park next to the trampoline and go through the gate to your right. It's a very small cemetery, but so very fun to walk through.
