Iosepa Settlement Cemetery
Mormon Church converts from Polynesia settled in Skull Valley in 1889–1917, working for the Church-owned Iosepa Agriculture and Stock Company.
Their settlement located ½ mile to the southwest, and named Iosepa (Joseph) after Joseph F. Smith then president of the Church, flourished until 1917 when a Hawaiian temple was constructed. Most of the islanders returned to their homeland.
Many who succumbed to the hardships of the land are buried in this cemetery.
Marker can be reached from Utah Route 196 at milepost 23.
