Ghost Towns Guest Book
Grover Colorado Townsite - Ghost town
The large two story building is one of a very few two story railroad buildings ever built to house employees and act as a rail station. It now houses a nice museum with a real hands on approach. If you get here make sure you stop and wander though. The people are friendly. Do us all a favor and make sure you leave a donation. Lot's of folks still living in the town.

The Answer -
Daniel,
THANKS for visiting my site. I appreciate it. It is very possible these photos are of your relatives graves. I live about 90 miles from Grover so it is not a short drive for me. I decided to see what I could find on the internet as I have used this site in the past to research cemeteries. Here is the web site. http://hollyhockfarms.com/coweld/cemetery/Grover/g.htm looks to me like you may have a connection to Grover and the great state of Colorado.
