In order to avoid the cattle she quickly crawled through the barbed wire fence surrounding the property. There she encountered the old tomb containing the remains of three bodies that had been interred in the late 1800s. On careful examination she found the names of a Latin woman, and two German men. Who were they, and what were they doing sharing a grave site enclosed by an ornate wrought iron fence, abd a very large single tombstone?
