This cemetery is known as Mountain View.

THE MAXWELL TRIBUNE, Maxwell, Iowa, Thursday, May 24, 1888, page 1, column 3. "Mr. Joseph Brubaker died at the residence of his son, Joseph, near Saratoga Springs, Wyoming Territory, May 4th, at the advanced age of eighty-six years. He was only confined to his bed about two weeks. Mr. Brubaker was born in Franklin County, Virginia, in 1802, emigrated to Washington County, Tennessee, about the year 1838, and from there to Iowa [Story County] in 1853, to the site where the town of Maxwell now stands. Having seen the railroad extended through this locality and the cozy town of Maxwell spring up on his former grounds - his orchards and garden spot giving place to building lots and streets, and things assuming an altogether changed appearance, he, with his youngest son and family, migrated to Wyoming Territory, in the spring of '86, where he spent the remainder of his days. H. J. B."
