Editor's Footnote: Please note "ArtGrove Farm" named on Suverly Farm property on 1916 Emmons Cty Land Owner Map; this was most likely the Art Grove Cemetery. The Suverly family burial site was moved from Art Grove Cemetery to Glencoe/Sloan Cemetery by order of the Federal Government. The land their burial site was located at was sold to the Army Corp. of Engineers and later flooded by the Oahu Reclamation, due to the construction of the Garrison Dam.
