Big Book "Record of Burials in Greenwood Cemetery, Grass Valley 1867-1930, page 7" ... Sarah F. McFate. Aged 39 yrs., 8 mos., 9 days. Resident of Grass Valley. Native of Tennessee. Cause of death: "General debility". Location: Wood Plat 2, 3.
[ Birth year is an estimate based on age given at time of death. A Pioneer Immigrants record is the source of all other info.]
* Most memorials created out of the Big Book of Greenwood Burials are unmarked. We only know of their interment in this cemetery because of this book. They either never were marked, wood plank deteriorated, stone was vandalized. Greenwood has been thoroughly combed over and documented with the help of the mortuary and historical library. It is sad that the mapping system of the time is nonexistent today and we have no way of knowing the burial location of some of these folks. Unfortunately, this person is one of those cases. But we are grateful for the book.

Gravesite Details
Unfortunately, there is no record of where in the cemetery the Wood Plot was located. If Mrs. McFate had a marker anywhere, we'd have come across it.
