From "Old Cemeteries of Southeastern Tulare (Calif) Co. " The Crabtree Cemetery in the section called Globe is on a picturesque knoll with boulders and Oak trees. Newton Crabtree, a pioneer of the early 60's set it aside, for the purpose, at the death of his mother, Rebecca, in the middle (18) 70's. His father, John Benjamin Crabtree, aged 83, soon followed, Also, some children of Slam Manier, who died from diphtheria. Asheel Post Osborn, a "49 and his first wife are buried there. One of his daughters was the wife of Newton Crabtree, one of Henry Halliburton, one of Elam Manier, and two married the McCutcheon brothers, James and Sam. There are graves from all these families which have many living members in the Porterville area. Another Osborn,(Oliver,) not related, but also a pioneer in the (Globe section,) is buried there with members of his family. There are the graves of Riley (Graham) another neighbor, and his family. In-laws who are buried there are: Murdoch Phillips and his wife, and the mother of the McCutcheon brothers, Mary McKinley, (relative of the President,) whose second husband was Benjamin Kerrick. Their father died while the family, in the McCutcheon Wagon Train, was crossing the plains in 1865. The story of the Covered Wagon, was written from the experiences of that wagon-train during Indian attack and other hazards. Newton Crabtree got Louis Weber, the teacher, to survey the cemetery and prepare a map of it which is on record at Visalia. There are more then 60 Graves in all. ed.
It appears that John took his family to Tulare in the late 1840's as the youngest child, Ephraim, was born in Texas and died in Tulare. He was probably looking for gold during the gold rush of "49. The Crabtree family was probably on the same wagon train with the others listed above. ed.
