Many early graves not as yet located

The remains of early Utah settlers are scattered in cemeteries throughout the state. Many pioneer graves have yet to be identified or found.

Earlier this year, remains were uncovered in Coalville during a construction project. Six were reburied in the city cemetery, including three babies.

In Salt Lake City, five well-known cemeteries (including the one at This Is the Place Heritage Park) contain pioneer remains: Kimball & Whitney Cemetery, Mt. Calvary Catholic Cemetery, Mt. Olivet Cemetery and the Salt Lake City Cemetery.

A 19th century military cemetery is at Ft. Douglas at the University of Utah.
