Bellefontaine Cemetery - St. Louis, Missouri

George G. Vest 1830-1904

Senator

The red granite boulder marking the grave of George Vest is most fitting for the man who was known for his fight to maintain Yellowstone Park. Senator Vest represented Missouri for many years. A noted orator, his speech delivered in the Johnson County courtroom at Warrensburg describing the devotion of a man’s dog to his master became a classic.
