Lunn Family Plot

We took a trip to the Salt Lake City Cemetary to see the Lunn Family Plot on Sunday. I have never been to that cemetary and it is HUGE. We weren't exactly sure where the plot was, but Grandma remembered that is was near center street and knew of a landmark ( a mound of land that resembled a cellar). We drove up and down center street without much luck at first, so we dropped J and T off near President Hinckley's grave and me and grandma kept driving. Eventually, we pulled over for a prayer in help to find the plots, and within a minute we drove right to it!

It is located by going East onto 310 North off of Center Street. The plot is on the South side, just a few plots in from Center Street....and the mound is on that corner of Center and 310 No.
Harriet died after giving birth, and the baby died within a couple of days,
so they were buried together.

The main plot stone.
John and Harriet are my great great grandparents.




John Lunn's parents are also buried here.
Yes, his mother's name is also Harriet.


John Lunn's mother.


John Lunn's father.


Their son, Thomas, who only lived 3 days.


Their son, John, who died around the age of 15 from Typhoid.


Daughter, Hattie, who died at the age of 17. She had suffered heart
damage during an attack of rheumatic rever when she was younger,
and had poor health from there on.

Their son Charles.
This is Grandma's Uncle who was raised with her mother, Josephine.
Grandma told me he had asked to be buried at his mother's feet, and he is.
John lived in California at the time of his death,
but Charles brought his body back to Utah to be buried.
