Chaffee County, Colorado
Researched by June Shaputis
This is a private, family cemetery that is located on property
owned in 1982 by Dick SCOTT. The property is located on the east side of the
Arkansas River, about 13 miles north of Buena Vista. The cemetery is directly
across the Arkansas River from the old brick Pine Creek School House and about
one-half mile behind the two-story farmhouse, in a small clearing surrounded by
pine and aspen trees. Permission is required to visit this site. (Sec. 27, T12S,
R79W, 6th P.M.)
There are nine interments here, dating from ca. 1885 to 1946. No cemetery
records are available, and the cemetery is now abandoned.

BAUMDICKER, Frank b. 23 Oct 1855 (1854?) in Germany; d. 1 Dec 1943. An
old-time [* note - Riverside farmer] resident of Chaffee County died [* note -
of nephritis] at his home in Riverside at noon Tuesday, Dec. 1st, at the age of
88. He was born in Germany on Oct. 23, 1855. He travelled extensively, coming to
Central America at the age of 19 years.
From there he came to the U.S., travelling through many of the southern and
eastern states. He returned to Germany for a visit and, on his return, went to
New Jersey. Later, he came to Denver and then to Leadville and
finally went into business at Fairplay. In time he arrived in Chaffee County and
accepted work on the ranch that later became his home.
While there, he married Miss Antonie BRADKTKY and homesteaded the property now
known as the KRUEGAR place. To this union were born five children. [ * note -
Ella, Oscar, Walter, Rudolph, and Carl] The two eldest were burned to death when
quite young, and a son preceded him in death 12 years ago.
The family moved to Granite from their homestead in 1896, in which city Mr.
BAUMDICKER went into the liquor business. In 1907 the family moved back into the
home where Mr. BAUMDICKER died. He was probably one of the oldest residents of
the County and could tell many interesting stories of Indians in this area. He
was a great hunter and fisherman. He was always interested in any project that
might improve his community.
