                               From the Colorado Springs Evening Telegraph, August 13, 1937
Mary Elizabeth Gateley, 16, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Sidney J. Gateley, 1806 Cheyenne Boulevard, who was injured in a fall from the top of Silver Cascade fall in Buffalo canon (now - 2005 - North Cheyenne Canyon) yesterday, died at Beth-El hospital at 3:30 o'clock this morning.  She had fractured her skull in the fall and did not regain consciousness.

The tragedy climaxed a happy picnic party of boys and girls.  Miss Gateley had posed her companions on a boulder at the top of the falls and stepped backwards for distance to take a photograph when she slipped and fell to the bottom of the falls, landing in the water and striking her head against a rock.

She was a student at the Cheyenne Mountain school, and popular.  Her father is a well-known mining man and was in Alma when the accident occurred.  Mrs. Gateley was at home and wondered what accident might have occurred as she saw driven at high speed past her house toward the Cheyenne canyons.  A few minutes later she learned by telephone that it was her daughter who had been hurt.

Other members of the picnic party were Vern and Nevert Garrett, Dallas, Tex.;  George Herron, 16 North Corona street,  Victor and Francis Copeland, Grand Prairie, Tex., and Marion F. Hill, 1617 Cheyenne Boulevard.

Some scenes of the Stratton Park area in the early 1900's

(From the Pikes Peak Library collection of digital photographs)
Bridge Into The Park from Cheyenne Road* Children on Swing Mail Delivery A Chimney Sweep Seven Falls A Streetcar at the Stratton Park Pavilion** Looking Down from the Gold Camp Road at Point Sublime

* This bridge was much used in the 1930's by the neighborhood when softball games were held almost nightly in the summer for the kids in the vicinity.  Harry York was the catcher, and Linnie York was the pitcher...

** In the early 1930's, Harry York rode such a streetcar to get to and from work as an ore inspector at the Golden Cycle Mill.

(Bill lived there occasionally.)

Melvin Oakley, Linnie York's nephew - the operator - was not injured!

 

GLEANINGS FROM PARK COUNTY
Lenore Warren

This is a list of burials in the Buckskin Cemetery, which is claimed by Alma. 

It is the oldest cemetery on record in Park County, Colo.

 

The cemetery information below came from Page 20 THE FOOTHILLS INQUIRER - Volume 7. Number 1 - 1987

 

To get to the cemetery: Once you're inside the town of Alma look to the west for Buckskin Road. Turn onto it and you (maybe) will pass a sign for Kite Lake. Stay on Buckskin for about a mile and a half. You will see a water treatment area on your left and then a turn off on your right. That is the road to the cemetery. Follow it all the way back and ignore the crossroads.  (See map)
