Green River, Wyoming, had previously been the city cemetery, which had been established in 1892. In 1926, a federal CWA project moved the bodies and old grave markers to the Riverview Cemetery just up the hill. But 14 bodies were left unknown and placed in a common Grave and left unmarked until 2017. A teen by the name of Emilio Sanchez, who was working for the Vista program, placed the first marker for the mass grave.
