Background:

The Babandorf grave site is on the old Babandorf place, some three miles east of Anatone near the head of Weissenfels Ridge, and in the head of the west branch of the Tenmile Creek Canyon. The Babandorf place has been owned and farmed by Fred Weisenfels for many years. Our guide to the grave site was Bill Weisenfels.

Located a short way south of where the Babandorf buildings were, on the north turn of the hill, is a rock enclosure some four feet high and perhaps 15 fee square. It is a shady serene, thinly brushed, brass covered area, though rather remote. It is located almost in the center of Sec 31, T8N, R46E, W.M.

George Babandorf, who came to the Anatone area in 1878, died in 1883 and is believed buried there. Also, later, a girl was buried there. It believed that she was a Babandorf, but date and identity are unknown.
