The sand in the Santa Clara Cemetery is no minor thing. The headstones are "sand-blasted" with each windstorm. The older headstone, though better than most was showing signs of wear. Others in the cemetery have been completely destroyed. The headstones are not at the same place in the cemetery. Plural marriage was a hard thing, and there was much pain for Anna Katherina when her husband took her daughter as a plural wife.

"Sacred to the memory of 'Catherine' wife of Casper Gubler, born Nov 25, 1825 at Canton Turgau, Muhlheim, Switzerland. Died May 26, 1897 at Santa Clara, Utah. Mother, thou hast from us flown to the region far above. We to thee erect this stone, consecrated by our love."
