[As related by Timothy Kendell, 1861-1948, son of William Kendell Jr and Joanna Peek.]

Before the white people came to Uintah to live, the cedar trees north from Uintah School were used as a burying place. Ira N. Spalding, who was bishop here when I was a boy, said when he came here in 1852, quite a number of Indian children were hanging in the branches of those cedar trees. You see, they would wrap a piece of deerskin around the dead papoose and put it up in the forks of the limbs; and when the strings rotted and the baby fell down, it was none of their affair.
