GRANTHAM CEMETERY

This cemetery is right off the Bowens Mill (Douglas-Fitzgerald) Highway. It is fenced, very pretty and extremely well kept. Everyone buried here is a descendant (or directly related to descendants) of Elijah and Elizabeth Ricketson Grantham. The "old home place" (now owned by Herbert Batten) is across the road from the cemetery.

*NOTE* I've compiled the list of names according to the rows in the cemetery. This seemd easier than grouping them alphabetically and it lets you see who is buried next to whom.
