2003: Carbon Cemetery Restoration

​Page and pictures by Bob Leathers and Gary Beaver.

The Hanna Basin Historical Society voted in 2002 to restore the Old Carbon Cemetery.  In 2003 the first cemetry clean up day was held.  During that year and the following years, volunteers removed sagebrush and other undesirable growth  from the cemetery and planted native grasses.  In 2006, the cemetery monuments were restored.  The main gate to the cemetery was replaced in 2007.
