24 kilometers (15 miles) east of Burns Lake is a grave with a picket fence around it, all that remains of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway townsite of Freeport. The grave is that of ‘Denver Ed’ Kelly, a railway worker who was shot by Jerry Mulvinhill for cheating during a card game. The story goes that when the townsite emptied and was put up for sale, Kelly’s sister bought it, then burnt the town to the ground, leaving only his grave in silent tribute.
