Notice on John Ferrier's grave

There was no mistaking it for anything but a newly dug grave. As the young hunter (Jefferson Hope) approached it, he perceived that a stick had been planted on it, with a sheet of paper stuck in the cleft fork of it. The inscription upon the paper was brief, but to the point:
JOHN FERRIER,
FORMERLY OF SALT LAKE CITY.
Died August 4th, 1860.
