MIDDLETON RANCH
GRAVES/CEMETERY
By: Richard Pierce
8/23/07
Some photographs around the Middleton Ranch where four are buried. They
put up a small monument to the two killed in 1887, Hamp Blevins and
John Payne and at the same time some of the group laid up some
stones around the tree to make people think that was the grave site.
Stanley C. Brown, ex historian from Payson, now living in
In 1882 Nan-tio-tish attacked the same ranch but no one was
killed, the Globe Irregular Rangers had arrived early on July 10th and
were napping in the yard when the attach started, they and the
Middleton's lost all their horses to the Apaches in a fight that lasted
several hours and withdrew up the valley of Wilson Creek towards the Q
ranch (way before there was a Q ranch in Arizona).
The two buried from the Nan-tio-tish raid are Geo. Turner
and Henry Moody... to do this one right might need a two - three day trip,
I like three days cause going is tuff and if I stay a while I
feel better about it!
Have a good day!
