So this _is_ the Applegate of the Applegate trail. It splits off from the main emigrant trail west of Winnemucca, about where Rye Patch Reservoir now is, and cuts across the north edge of the Black Rock Desert.

Yes, and there are still many Applegates in Oregon. My granddaughter was so excited to see this, because she had just learned about the ApplegateTrail in school last week. It was fun to see her make a tangible connection with history.

W. O. Smith, Jessie's husband, and his second wife and children are buried in another cemetery in town.
