Heart Throbs of the West, Kate B. Carter, Vol. 1, p. 248 ~ The following is taken from Andrew Love's diary: "Nancy Maria Bigelow Love died Saturday, Nov. 27, and was buried Sunday, Nov. 28, 1852. She was carrying a boy baby about 5 1/2 months along. She had a child and that evening died 20 minutes after 4 o'clock."
Here with a sad heart he laid his loved one and placed some black mountain rocks by her grave. No doubt Mr. Love was the one who selected this sacred spot to lay away his loved one. At this time, the spot belonged to the government but was afterwards homesteaded by Branch Young and is known as section 29 of township 11. This particular spot of land, after the town was settled, served as a pioneer grave yard until the year of '69.
Here about 20 bodies were laid to rest, some few being dug up and moved to the new cemetery. Nancy Maria was not the only pioneer mother to give her life in child birth for close by the grave of Mrs. Love lay the body of Susanna C. Garfield with her baby and the baby of Jane Garfield, both wives of Henry Garfield.
Old Pioneer Cemetery at Mona - Sometime in the early 50's Andrew Love, John Anthony Wolf and another gentleman came into this locality pioneering and took up the occupation of ranching. The fields at this time were a waving mass of grass and a splendid place for cattle, sheep and horses. Here they built their log cabins; one just north of the fort. The Clover Creek stream from the mountains came zigzagging across the bench and ran close to the cabins. Here they remained until '53, when Indian trouble forced them to move to Nephi with their families. Their sojourn at Mona was not without interruption for it was here, and in those trying times, that Andrew Love was called on to part with his wife and companion, and through this sad bereavement it fell to his lot to start the first cemetery in this locality.
