A skull with a bullet hole in it found in an Idaho pawn shop has
raised speculation that it might be connected with the 1857 Mountain
Meadows Massacre.According to Scott Fancher of Harrison, the
attorney for the Mountain Meadows Monument Foundation (MMMF), an
organization made up of people who are descendants, collateral
descendants and historians of the event, the skull was found in a box
labeled \"Mountain Meadows\" and addressed to a Gordon G. Sims.The MMMF, along with Mountain Meadows Association and the
Mountain Meadows Massacre Descendants, other organizations devoted to
the memory of the event, have expressed interest in the skull. The
organizations are working with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints (Mormons) in an effort to make the massacre site a National
Landmark.Fancher went on to say that, when discovered in
February, the skull was turned over to the Idaho archaeological
department, as prescribed by law, for testing.
