Cemetery of the Prophets

The Salt Lake Cemetary, in the avenues, has the grave markers of 11 of the 15 latter-day prophets that have passed on.  The missing prophets are Joseph Smith (in Nauvoo, Illinois), Brigham Young (in downtown SLC), Lorenzo Snow (in Brigham City, Utah), and Ezra Taft Benson (in Whitney, Idaho).  All others are located here, with a good chunk of other church General Authorities past and present.

This is obviously a break from the Reed Smoot hearings.  Here are the pictures I took of their grave markers.
