Located just off the old Applegate Trail west of Imlay, Nevada, this out of place grave is that of James Bailey & William Cook from Unionville, Nevada, who were killed here two years later on July 9, 1862 by Indians while freighting between the Humboldt Mines & California. There are supposedly other graves located here (thus giving the name Majuba Mountain Cemetery) of the same time period, but they lack any identification. Nearby is the grave of Susan McCord Coon. This location, a mile off the trail & close to Big Antelope Spring, was where she would be buried.
