George W. Bolander came to this part of the country with his mother and father, in 1882. He was a well known photographer in both Coffeyville and Parsons Kansas. Many of his photos still exist today. He married Ms Mattie Davis on the 25th of January 1889. They had one son, Sarony Glen Bolander. Mattie died in 1891 and was documented to have been interred in " Timberhill Cemetery". On the 31st of January, 1892, He married Minnie Etta Hornback, in Parsons, Ks. They had a son named George Ray Bolander. As is mentioned in his obituary, he died of Typhoid Fever on the 27 of January, 1893.

There is not a definitive record of GW Bolander's burial. Research has found his first wife was buried in Timberhill Cemetery. His second wife died in 1898 and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Parsons. She is beside her parents there. Given the information found, it is believed he was buried beside his first wife, in this burial plot.

There are several obituaries in the Parsons Sun newspaper describing interments in the "Timberhill Cemetery", in this time period. Research has found many of those have tombstones in this Cemetery. There is no record of a Timberhiill Cemetery ever existing in Labette County. It is believed it is one in the same as Harmony Grove Cemetery.

Harmony Grove records indicate that GW'S father, Lord Guilford Bolander purchased six lots here. No burial records are listed except for LG's young son, who has the only head stone, who died in 1883. It is believed all six lots are filled with family members who passed away in the late 1800's.
