The Great Grave Today
The Great Grave as it
appeared in 1998. Trees have grown up around the Great Grave and Pioneer
Cemetery (in the background) creating what appears to be a different
setting than where the Whitmans' were buried 150 years ago. However,
there is very little distance between the original Great Grave and
the permanent tomb, placed in 1897. The other marker within the fence
is that of William Gray and his wife, who were originally buried in
Astoria, Oregon, but later re-interred at Waiilatpu.
