This is not the first reference that I have seen to the Pleasent Ridge Cemetery.  Can anyone say where this cemetery was located? The Pleaseant Ridge Church (town of Grant) was said to have never had a cemetery? Carol (Purkis) Mitte mcmitte@tds.net

Carol, It is my understanding that the Town of Grant Cemetery is what used to be the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery. It is the only one in the Pleasant Ridge area, so I assume that is true. However, I don't see Mr. Sedgwick as being buried there, but he may have not had a stone since his wife and children were dead.  Stan
