Forest Dell Massacre:
Alonzo F. Brown of New Hampshire, who crossed the route (Lander Cut-Off), told of coming upon the burning remnants of an emigrant train where the trail entered Star Valley. All members of the train except a four year old girl had been killed. The child's legs were broken and apparently she had been left for dead. Brown's party dressed her wounds and took her to Oregon. Today a peaceful aspen grove (unknown) marks the site of the massacre in Forest Dell.
Correction We recently obtained a copy of the "Autobiography of Alonzo F. Brown", dated 29 May 1922. Whereas, the event described above apparently did occur, it did not happen in Star Valley. From Alonzo F. Brown's autobiography...
"The Landers Cutoff took down to the old road to Fort Hall on the Snake River. We camped one night on Salt River. We were now in hostile Indian territory, as we went by where the Sublette Cutoff came into the old road. We camped with a party of emigrants who had just come through the Sublette Cutoff, and they reported they came by about ten miles south of where we were and found a party of emigrants all murdered except a little babe, and it had both legs broken by Indians. These emigrants had the baby and was going to take it through with them".

Rainey Hill aka Tin Cup Cemetery:
History:
The following is a list of persons originally interred in the Rainey Hill burial site. When dedicated cemeteries became available elsewhere thoughout the Valley, these persons were said to have been exhumed and transferred to other locations, but this event has never been verified.
Location: The Tincup cemetery was located on the old Haderlie Ranch about 1888. From Freedom, travel North on Lincoln County/State Line Road for 0.9 miles. Turn left (West) on ID-34 and travel for 1.1 miles. Turn left (South) for 0.9 miles. The burial site is located approximately 450 feet to the left (East) along the fence line. The grave site is currently inaccessible (private property). Hearsay states these gravesites were exhumed and moved to Freedom; however, recent investigation does not verify this story.
