Transcription and photos submitted by Doris Counts, 2006 Most of the graves were moved to Atkinson later. Located on Fred Jansen’s land, two miles East on the old highway and five and ½ miles north of Atkinson. Surrounded by lilac bushes. The old highway to O’Neill is now 877 avenue The three stones were inside a huge lilac bush. Go North from Atkinson on Highway 11, 6 miles to Sign 883 avenue & highway 11. Turn east two miles, Sign 478 road & 883 avenue. Turn south ½ mile. On the west, there will be an alfalfa field, and in the corner of that small field will be a lilac bush. Under the lilac bush you will find the three stones. (you can not see the stones from the road. The alfalfa field is about the size of a corral.)
