Long Description:
Grafton was settled in December 1859 by a group of saints led by
Nathan C. Tenny. Due to common floods & Indian attacks the
farming town never flourished. Its population peaked in 1864 (164)
and was abandoned by the 1930s.
Grafton Cemetery is not being maintained by a government of
community entity. It is left to the mercy of people and the
environment. There has been a lot of vandalism of the cemetery. A
number of markers have been destroyed or defaced. The cemetery is
roughly 100 feet by 78 feet wide. Someone has placed a steel post /
wire fence around the cemetery. This fence has rusted and is
falling apart.
