Gravestone Inscription: Melba Marie Jesmer 1902 - 1905

Note: The Alma cemetery and Buckskin cemetery are one in the same. The cemetery was originally called the Buckskin cemetery because it was next to the original town of Buckskin Joe, now a ghost town. President Theodore Roosevelt approved the land grant for the cemetery to be used by Alma residents on 3/21/1902, Patent No. 1638.

Source: the following was taken from the Fairplay Flume Newspaper (Fairplay, Park County) dated September 22, 1905, page 1.


The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Jesmer, formerly Laura Osborne, died Saturday. Interment took place at Buckskin cemetery Sunday.
