Guy Dillon, Rosita Cemetery, Colorado

Here is the resting place of Guy Dillon, July 19th, 1879 to June 3rd, 1881. His inscription reads that he was the son of B.F. and S.E. Dillon. 

“Tis a little grave, but oh, have care. World wide hopes are buried there; How much of light, how much of joy, Is buried with our darling boy.”

“Tis a little grave, but oh, have care. World wide hopes are buried there; How much of light, how much of joy, Is buried with our darling boy.”

He rests on a quiet knoll in Rosita in his own little fenced area. I was surprised at how well the fence looked. It was in great shape for its age, if it’s been there since he was buried.  If original fencing, it could be up to 144 years old.

Rosita Cemetery is part of the old Townsite of Rosita, Colorado. Now part of Westcliffe, Rosita retains its strong community sense after so many years. Little strong valley. 

Rest easy little one. Not sure where the parents are buried, but they are all together once again.
