HUGH MOON BURIAL SITE
According to legend, Hugh Moon was living in Idaho, but asked that he be buried in Utah when he died. After Hugh's death the family brought him south as far as the border, and buried him on Utah land (although records show that he's actually buried approximately 15 feet north of the Idaho border).
Hugh's grave is located in a fenced, single grave on private property.
