This series of photos show a portion of the Old Nauvoo burial ground and the small burial spot for James Nathaniel Barlow, found by the Spirit and Revelation. In the 1840's the entrance to the cemetery was at this far corner of the cemetery. Israel Barlow quickly entered the cemetery and buried the child just inside the entrance rather than go deeper inside. There was no official record of him doing this and therefore the location was lost until Elizabeth Hemple found it by the Spirit's promptings the day we were there with her.
