A Third Susan. . .

Buffalo Meadows Cemetery, Smoke Creek, Nevada
Buffalo Meadows Cemetery, Smoke Creek Desert, Nevada, 1984

After reading yesterday’s post, I realized that I neglected a third Susan for whom some thought Susan River was named for. According Asa M. Fairfield he noted that an immigrant girl by the name of Susan DeWitt died near the Buffalo Meadows Salt Marsh in the Smoke Creek Desert. She was buried near there, but whether her grave was incorporated into the Buffalo Meadows Cemetery, I do not know.  Fairfield went on that some thought that it was this Susan for whom the Susan River was named for.  By the way, if anyone has information on this particular cemetery, I would certainly appreciate it.
