It is a big cemetery. It was also known as the White Cemetery or the Prairie City Cemetery. Arthur Barnes Section Second Block 332 Lot 3 Space 1 12/4/1891 - 2/19/1956 Marcia May Barnes Section Howell Block 10 Space 59 5/6/1895 - 8/18/1982 Howell section is on the east side on the cemetery. It is divided into three sections by roads running from East to West. If you take the first entrance of the cemetery, the Howell section starts from the highway and back to the fence line. (North to South) Block 10 would be in the middle section. The second driveway divides the Howell Section from the First Section. Second Section is on the back fence line and is a little harder to explain the boundaries. You can stop at the City Clerk's office for a map of the cemetery. If I remember correctly, the map is upside down. Library may have a copy of the sections in the cemetery book. They have updated information on the cemetery. If you email me, I can give you more information. Diane

If you can find Livingston in Grant Co. Wis. you will find Clifton township. I think it borders right on the Grant/Iowa County line. Good luck on the project! Sue

She is listed in the 1870 Census as living with the Cody family. She married Adolphus Clear and they moved all over the country having children in Nebraska and Montana ..." Mary, Looking at the 1870 census, I see Frances in Little Grant, Grant, WI, in 1870, with a birth year of c1869. I assume this is the person you're talking about. Frances is NOT living "with the Cody family" in 1870. There is a 5-year-old female with surname Cody living there, but the head of household is George BAKER. Note that the household includes 37-year-old [Samuel or Lemuel] PENDLETON (born England); perhaps he is Frances's father. There is also a household of Pendleton men living next-door.
