This is the entrance to the Pleasant Green Cemetery on top of a hill in what is today Magna, Salt Lake County, Utah.  This cemetery was an early Utah cemetery and is relatively small and modest.  It sits on a hill out of view from the roads below.  Today, the property which surrounds it is owned by the Kennecott Copper Company.   Direct ancestors James Jenkins, John Jenkins and Rosella Newberry Morris Peck Jenkins are buried here.  Their graves are marked.  Also buried nearby are members of their family such as daughters, sons-in-law and grandchildren.   It is a beautiful, unadorned cemetery with many active family plots and grave stones from the middle 1800s to the present day.
