The physical description of this cemetery states Cape Breton in Richmond County. I know there have been several counties renamed and/or boundaries changed in Canada, Ireland, Scotland, and England. So I am leaving this up to the locals to please verify the location, and if possible to get a picture of this cemetery. Thanks so much, Jacki

I know this looks awful, but FAG has disabled any use of a link. This is me:

The original names were River Inhabitants Bridge in Inverness County, NS. Richmond County was formed from a south eastern portion of Inverness County some time before 1890. In 1890 the town name was changed to Cleveland, named for President Grover Cleveland. The cemetery is not far from the town of Cleveland on the banks of River Inhabitants. If you look at Find A Grave Memorial# 146424047 you will see the river in the background of the grave stone picture. I don't think Grantville is a named place, but a lot of Grants lived around there. The county seat of Richmond County is Arichat on Isle Madame. Cleveland is on Route 4 where it crosses River Inhabitants. The cemetery is a bit over a mile south of Cleveland on the west bank of the river. This is a pioneer cemetery and does not have a sign to identify it; at least when I was last there [1970].
