Finding of Body of Chitwood
Another chapter was written in the mystery surrounding the finding of a body, supposed to be that of J. P. Chitwood, by National Park rangers on June last when Clifford Higby and a party of tourists hiked to Bear Lake and Dream Lake and thence to Tyndall Glacier on Flattop mountain Thursday.
The body of Chitwood, it will be remembered, was found by National Park Ranger Guild, stationed near Grand Lake about the same time as a letter was received by Supt. Way from a tourist stating he had seen a body of a man on the glacier.
The tourist mentioned having found also saddle bags, provisions, a rifle and revolver and numerous articles of wearing apparel, all of which was later found by Ranger McDaniel, with the exception of the saddle bags.
The party guided by Higby Thursday upon going up Tyndall Gorge and reaching the foot of the glacier found the carcas of horse that had evidently been used as a pack animal. The horse was lying on the ice and nearby lay a rope halter with a red bandana hankerchief tied to the under part of it, evidently to keep flies from the animal, which would indicate that the animal came to its death during fly season last year. Around the tail of the horse was tied a full length halter rope, indicating another horse had been led by this one. Nearby was also found a tooth brush. about fifty yard above and also on the ice was the carcass of another horse, on the head of which was found halter from which the rope had been broken at the halter ring. Between the bodies of that two horses was found a sauce pan and above the body of the upper horse was found five pieces of canvas. Higher up on the glacier and on a direct line with the bodies of the horses but beyond reach of the party was!
seen some objects which glasses revealed to be pieces of harness.
The party then skirted the glacier and found at the top of the glacier and at the foot of a precipice two blankets, a suit of B. V.D.'s and more canvas.
Ranger McDonald says a cotton rope was found near the body of Chitwood, which had evidently been used to tie packs on a horse. It was not known that Chitwood had horses, but the theory is advanced that had the horses belonged to any living person they would have been seeking the animals and announced their escape--Estes Park Trail

A special request would be for photos, notes, info about the cabin David Chitwood and Sarah Chitwood (Richardson) lived in. And any info about burials in the Chitwood Cemetery other than David and Sarah. We believe there is a goodman referrence that is barely legible.
