    Mansker Family Plot, Alameda Cemetery
    The Mansker family plot at the Alameda Cemetery. Mansker graves line both sides of this photo, and the grave of William Henry Mansker is at the center. In the background is a stream that now flows into Mansker Lake. Originally William Henry's house sat at the edge of the lake, but the lake diminished greatly after the construction of the Leon Dam about four miles away.

    Mansker Lake looking northwest. At one time the lake was much larger, until construction of the Leon Dam changed the water levels in the area.
