Other possibilities for GC (none in Brainerd) that I could think of are Grover Cleveland, Grace Christian, and Granite City. What do you know about your grandmother and where she lived at the time she was in high school? Was her family in Crow Wing county in the 1890's? How about in the 1900 census?
