This Month’s Fun Fact
Betsy Denney recently led a very informative tour of the Coaldale Cemetery. Records indicate the first known person was buried there in 1879. Who was this person?
Joseph Toupain, a six-year old, was buried at the Coaldale Cemetery on January 6, 1879. His father owned the Coaldale store along with O.B. Carroll. During their time in the valley, Mr. Toupain and Mr. Carroll completed the Hayden Pass Road.
