The Bones at Ponce Park | M.P. Pellicer

White cottages were found under the live oaks at Ponce Park, which was known for being the haven of women with children, and anglers who came to fish. This normally placid place was stirred up when seven skeletons were discovered by postmaster Frank Stone when he dug up his back lot.

PONCE PARK, DAYTONA, FEBRUARY 1, 1915

Stone had been "grubbing" some palmetto, live oak and bay bushes near the east line of his property, and along the road leading south to the Ponce de Leon Inlet lighthouse. He broke the skull with his hoe, and once he realized it was a cranium he began a careful excavation. The entire skeleton was unearthed, and he kept digging and finally exhumed seven skeletons.

The sun-bleached bone stood out amongst the sagebrush in Wyoming's Red Desert that spans more than 9,000 square miles. On a map it's known as Area 118, and it literally is the middle of nowhere, just an expanse dotted with oil rigs and wells near Wamsutter, Wyoming. The lower jaw lay nearby, and nothing else—no more bones, no clothing.
