Alfred Corum Grave
About 18 miles northwest of Kemmerer on State Highway 233.
Rough road, travel only in good weather.

Within this compound lie the graves of five or six pioneers who lost their lives while traveling to the gold fields of California and the fertile Willamette Valley of Oregon.

Alfred Corum and his brothers John, Herod, and Simeon left Cooper County, Missouri, on April 10, 1849, bound for the gold fields. Their wagon train reached the Hams Fork Plateau on July 3, 1849. and “laved over” as Alfred had been sick for a week or ten days. Some 200 wagons passed them on this day. On July 4 the wagon train pulled out, leaving six men behind to render aid to the dying Alfred. He died at 1:00 p.m. of unknown causes on the 4th of July, 1849.

Margaret Campbell is buried a few yards from Alfred Corum. She died on July 29, 1848 of unknown causes. Historians have been unable to determine the names and circumstances of death of the other emigrants buried here.
