Wanted!
Are you someone who wants to give to your community? If so, we are ALWAYS looking for volunteers who either have time to transcribe newspaper information about 'local' events; transcribe census information or even walk the cemeteries and either write down the information from headstones or take pictures.

  • Old Moran Cemetery
    Transcribed by Julie Maguire

    Location: now located in Grand Teton National Park, near the junction of the inner park road and the road that leads to Yellowstone National Park. (Please note: Old Moran Cemetery is a misnomer. It is the Allen Cemetery. According to the great granddaughter of Charles Joshua Allen and Maria Houston Lish Allen, the homesteaders who established this privately owned cemetery on their own property. During Maria's life, she granted permission for a few non-family burials. The quitclaim deed that transferred ownership to the government contains a clause that reserves only to C.J. Allen's descendants the right of burial in the Allen Cemetery. Park officials did not always adhere to that stipulation. They also neglected to correctly identify the cemetery. But it is the Allen Cemetery.
