photos by Matthew S. McDonald, M. D.

Matthew took photos of all the graves in this cemetery and gratiously provided them to Bev and Jim Winsness who placed them here. The Griswold family are descendants of both their son-in-law Bruce Droste, and good friend Bill Raper. Matthew McDonald also descended from this family line.

I have tried to name the stones and provide a death date, but there may be errors - look closely! Higher resolution photos are available.
