Geocache Description:

Yes: a literal grave site! Our first cache placed!

The story is that on October 13th, 1907, W. Glenn of McKittrick cut the ponytail off of the "Chinaman" in some kind of dispute. In retaliation, the Chinaman stabbed and killed W. Glenn. Tom Glenn then shot and killed the Chinaman the same day to avenge his brother's death and then he himself died of natural causes in the 1940s. All three are buried at this site. Special thanks to Tom H. for providing me the location and story. Also special thanks to Adam W. for providing the cache container.
