After a struggle to save the Granville cemetery that began in the year 2000 and ended some 6 years later in the Nebraska Supreme court. The Granville cemetery was saved from total destruction by a farmer and the farmer was told he could no longer run his Center Pivot over the graves. Granville was established by the early settlers in Granville Twp. The first of them coming in 1873. Most of the group had roots in New York so the named Humphrey after Humphrey,New York and Granville after Granville, New York. In 1881 they formed the Cemetery Association and incorporated a one acre cemetery. Among the 11 men who signed the deed of incorporation were 5 know Civil War Veterans, one having escaped from Andersonville prison during the Civil War. After winning the court case and restoring the grounds, I applied to the Nebraska State Historical Society for a Historical Marker. The marker was approved and it was installed last October. Now on 22 May 2011 at 1:30 PM we plan to dedicate the marker and the grave of Francis H. Baker a Civil War Veteran buried there. The dedication by a Civil War re-enactment group will be a real exciting thing to see. We have a very nice invitation made up on two sides of a page, showing the maker and other information. Any one who wants to have a copy of the invitation email me at [email protected] and I will send a copy to you. Please come and join us if you live close enough to make the drive to Cornlea, Ne. Dove
