I thought maybe they named a temple "Ralph".

"The Ralph temple will be built in Big Nose Saskatchewan"

Now THAT would be an incredible Temple Name announcement!

I vote for the Punkydoodles Corner temple:

alternative since you are into Big Nose....

Yes. He’s a great guy. I have corresponded with him about this event. Do you post on his blog?

He wrote an excellent book documenting the massacre and how it affected the participants on both sides.

Bruce Crow. A Land of Strangers: Cane Creek Tennessee’s Massacre and it’s Tragic Effects on the People Who Lived There. AMH Press, 2013.

Also, another book by Donald R. Curtis. “and should we die” The Cane Creek Mormon Massacre. Bear Head Publishing, 2011.

Quite a story!

There are no buildings from the events that are standing. I don't know how to upload photos here. Do you?

There are a couple of old photos in the two books I mentioned above, but they are small and poor quality. I have some photos of the cemeteries. 

I found this house for sale in just about the right spot. Click on the photo for a close up map. Grampa's store was on the intersection of DePriest Branch Road and Farmers Exchange Road. The DePriest families lived along the DePriest Branch Road. The events of the massacre took place to the west of there, perhaps someplace near Cotham Hollow and Murray Hollow. I'm not sure anyone knows the exact location of the Conder home. https://www.trulia.com/p/tn/hohenwald/200-depriest-branch-rd-hohenwald-tn-38462--2041479910#lil-mapViewTab

I know, not personally, one of the elders that escaped out the back door was asked to serve a mission in the mid to late 1890's and was told he could go anywhere he wanted and he chose England. 

Probably because England was a land of religious liberty.

Good point.

Fish & Chips is a very popular dish with missionaries.
