Led by Noble Grand Humbug Gary "Ma Bell" Wilson (who is also the chapter historian), a plaque was dedicated yesterday at the Mountain View Cemetery honoring Chinese migrants who helped conquer the wild west during the 19th Century.
Several of them are buried at Mountain View in unmarked graves.
Prior to the plaque dedication, there was a funeral service in progress about 150 yards away. Thankfully, the brothers were in their good behavior so no obscene yells (like "F*ck the Humbug!") were uttered during the funeral.
The layout and general configuration of the graves were nothing I've seen before.
