The is the gravesite of Henry Maiben, my 3rd great grandfather. The photo comes from the findagrave.com website.

He is buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery in Salt Lake City, Utah.

This short paragraph about his life is included on the website:

Born in England, Henry worked with his father's business as coach maker/ painter and was educated at Eton and Oxford Colleges. He married Caroline in 1845 at the Parish Church of St. George in London. They were baptized into the LDS Church in 1851 and came to America in 1853, settling in Salt Lake City. Henry was a lead actor in the old Salt Lake Dramatic Company, a poet, lyricist, dance master, and painter. He moved to Provo for a while with his second wife Flora and eventually settled back in Salt Lake City where he passed away and is buried next to Caroline and Flora.
