Grandview has the oldest burials in the area, another option is the old Western Methodist Cemetery on Cherry Street. It was abandoned, and condemned. Graves with stones were moved to Grandview, others were buried in a mass grave. The broken stones were sold for scrap, so locals occasionally find pieces or whole stones.
