Girton Cemetery is located in an enclosed area on private land in a cow pasture southwest of Grangeville. The homestead land was in T30N R2E, parts of Sec 25 & 26. It had been neglected for years but in the 1980's was renovated with a newspaper article about the event which I haven't been able to come up with yet. The cemetery is still in pretty good condition and has several neighbors who care for it. (2000)
