This house, set back into the side of the hill on the west side, is suppose to be the original old stage stop. "There is an old burying ground on top of a hill on the H A Marek (now Lesley ????) property southwest of Windsor, where some of the early day people were laid to rest, and so far as we know most of the bodies remain there. No records are available to show that the site was ever set aside as a cemetery, but was just a common burying ground. Among the persons buried there was a Mr Davis, one of the earliest settlers." (Highlights in the History of Windsor, Colorado - compiled by Roy Ray in 1940). Some of the older residents seem to think Indians and white settlers were buried there together as many Indian beads were found as erosion of the soil took place. Upon visiting the site in 2009 I found one tombstone with a footstone fenced in to the north of the outbuilding and west of the house. Further information about stones found in 1976 can be found in Weld County Colorado Tombstone Inscriptions, Volume I pg 14.
