Mary Jane Griffith Reiter donated an old ledger book to the UNLV Special Collections library in 1980. As I viewed the book, I thought even with only 16 pages of written information, how thoughtful she was to place it in such a place to preserve that information and make it available to researchers. The ledger is old and on the first page is a hand drawn plot map with numbered locations of graves. The next page shows a map indicating some burials right next to the "road to Arden" which is next to the Salt Lake Rail Road rails. The following information is written on the pages that follow.

For those who are not familiar with the Stewart Ranch, this ranch was the site of what eventually became Las Vegas when William Clark purchased the ranch from Helen Wiser Stewart, widow of Archibald Stewart in 1905.
