Since it is a little chlly to be out checking the cemeteries, why not write to the Grand Ridge Village Office, 215 Railroad Avenue, they would know the name of the caretaker and where the records are kept. My cousin was buried in that cemetery last year and the family that takes care of the cemetery seemed to be real
nice people. I can't think of his name right now, he was also a relative of my cousin.
If you don't get a response, put another posting later on in the spring.

Were they buried from the Grand Ridge funeral home?

I have dates on Ernest Eugene Gedye and Sarah Elizabeth Hurst, am looking for more info on their parents. Thomas Gedye was a miner. Joseph Hurst came from Lancashire England.
