Henry Clark's grave site in the Catholic Pioneer Cemetery at Silver Reef, UT. The story behind the elaborate wrought iron fencing is that Henry was a gambler in this silver mining town and was shot during an argument over a card game. The pot was left on the table as it was considered bad luck to take the pot after a gambler's death, so Henry's father apparently scooped up the money and used it to pay for this gorgeous iron work around the grave site. Located in the Catholic Cemetery (yes, there is also a Protestant Cemetery down the road) at Silver Reef, UT
