Bio

Emily Roberts 1846 - 1852 The body of Emily Roberts was removed from one of the following cemeteries and reinterred in Provo City Cemetery. In 1853, the current Provo City Cemetery was dedicated, but before that, there were three cemeteries and several other burial sites in the area. The following cemeteries are defunct: The first cemetery, Fort Utah (later changed to Fort Field). It was located near the corner of Geneva Road and Center Street in the Sowiette Park in Lakeview; there is a monument in the park. Within a few years, the entire fort was moved East, closer to what is now Provo; a new cemetery was established, Temple Hill Cemetery . It was located on the bluff at the intersection above 800 North and 200 East, now occupied by the Karl G. Maeser Memorial building on Brigham Young University campus. A third cemetery, Grandview Cemetery , located at the junction of three farms at current street address 1144 North Columbia Lane. The site is now a Baptist Church. All but two of the bodies were relocated, eventually resting in Provo City Cemetery. There are no headstones for the two children who remain. There is monument on the street in front of the church. Bodies from these cemeteries were reinterred in Provo City Cemetery. Block 5 Lot 62, of the new cemetery, was reserved for bodies removed from these three cemeteries and other sites. Some headstones are present, but most are unmarked graves and records are not precise as to the names, origins, and dates of all the people who were relocated.
