Hanna Basin Death and Burial Records
The Hanna Basin includes the Wyoming towns of Hanna and Elmo, which still exist, and the coal camps of Carbon, Sampo and Dana, which are now ghost towns along with cemeteries at Hanna and Carbon. The coal camp of Carbon came first. When the coal ran out in Carbon, the citizens moved, over time, to the new coal field developed at Hanna.
