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 descendants (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 
seemed easier than grouping them alphabetically and it lets you see who is buried 
next to whom.
