Killed by Jayhawkers

The compilers of this reference document have not seen these graves but several persons have told us about them. A friend, George McFatter, just happened to have the information in his wallet and shared it with us. Thank you, George!

April 1993

On April 16, 1993, after many months of searching for these graves, we met a young man who agreed To lead us to them. He is 13 year old Whitney Green. We are most grateful to him. We drove west on the Longville Road from Dry Creek about 4 or 5 miles to tombstone road. We parked at a locked gate [Whitney's father is a member of the hunting club which leases this property]. We walked almost a mile to the grave site. Welborn Monument Co. placed headstones on these graves several years ago making this a permanently marked part of history.

Originally, there was a fence around the monuments, but it has been removed.
