Koosharem, Utah

On our way back from Capital Reef and Teasdale, we visited the Grass Valley and the very small town of Koosharem, the birthplace of my mother's mother, Beatrice Petersen Marchant.

 From the highway you can look through to the serene Grass Valley and town of Koosharem.

A historical marker is placed at this spot, concerning a significant treaty 

between the Mormon settlers and the local Indian tribes.

In the tiny Koosharem cemetary, we found the headstones of Great-Grandma's

mother and father, Anna Christine Pearson and Frands Peter Peterson.

Their daughter, Beatrice was only seven years old when her mother died. 

Her father married another woman, from whom she had many siblings.

Beatrice's father lived a long life and died just a couple of years before her husband, Stephen.
