One color photograph (John McCormick photographs). Pictured are a fence post, grass and a headstone. The headstone is gray and has a point at top. Visible it says, "Kit" Carson, Jim Bridger, Freemont." After doing some research, I found this listed on http://files.usgwarchives.net/wy/carbon/cemeteries/baker.txt
"BAKER, Jim, b. Dec 19 1819 d. May 15 1898, "Here lies Jim Baker Born
in Illinois" "One of the oldest pioneers of the Rocky Mountains.
Contemporary of 'Kit' Carson, Jim Bridger, Freemont, and the rest
who helped to civilize this district. A government scout, guide,
and indian fighter, his memory should be respected forever by
those who live in all this region the fighting land of the indian
tribes." The website also listed it as being the Baker Cemetery in Savery, Wyoming.Collection
