Listing and photo by Karen Mitchell.
The Sefton burial plot is located about 1 mile west of Badito on a hill. This cemetery was filmed during the summer of 2000.
Sefton, Henry T.
born 1833 died 1914
Henry Sefton was the engineer that laid out many of the roads in upper Huerfano County, and built the toll road over Mosca Pass. When he felt it was his time to die, he wanted to be cremated on the top of the hill. He hauled dry timber to the spot to build his funeral pyre and instructed his fellow men to cremate his remains there.
