INSCRIPTIONS
Our search began by visiting Merle Thompson, who had grown up 1/2 mile from the cemetery, and cared for it many years. The original plat, on silk fabric and housed in a tin tube, has been copied. There were records available during the 1920-1930 period when permits were given by the City Clerk of Valley Center. On these permits were the names of the deceased, date, and what they died of. This information is included. The cemetery is not a segregated resting place, as there are several black families buried there.
Information from the local newspapers has been included without reference to location.
Our thanks to the Grant Township Trustees, Merle Thompson, and Vickie Reffner Kingsbury.

INSCRIPTIONS
Our search began by visiting Merle Thompson, who had grown up 1/2 mile from the cemetery, and cared for it many years. The original plat, on silk fabric and housed in a tin tube, has been copied. There were records available during the 1920-1930 period when permits were given by the City Clerk of Valley Center. On these permits were the names of the deceased, date, and what they died of. This information is included. The cemetery is not a segregated resting place, as there are several black families buried there.
Information from the local newspapers has been included without reference to location.
Our thanks to the Grant Township Trustees, Merle Thompson, and Vickie Reffner Kingsbury.
