The Baby Morgan Grave is a famous site on the Barlow road, at Summit Meadow.  the story is well told in the book Barlow Road, put out by the Clackamas County and Wasco county Historical Societies.        Basically, the mother and others died at Independence Rock after cooking in brass pots which were not properly scoured. The new child and three older children continued with the father, but the baby suffered a head injury. On the Barlow road the child died and was buried when the train reached the meadow.         Barlow Road tells how relatives still come here each August to pay their respects, and I have seen their bouquets on some of my visits.
