Byram Lee Bybee was my great-great-great-grandfather. Cool, huh?
It was actually really cool to see the graveyard, there are a lot of old headstones, some of them you can't read at all. And some of the mounds don't even have a headstone, it's kind of sad. I was really grateful that someone had taken the time to make up a nice, new headstone for good old Byram.
And this is an old house in "town." They've got a restoration project going, they want to restore the town. I think that's great and all, but I just don't know how much sense it makes to rebuild this tiny town. But I do think it's important to remember our heritage, so I could get behind a compilation of Grafton's history. Anyway, it was a great experience. And a fun weekend overall.

My grandparents have a house in La Verkin and when I was little we would go to Grafton almost every visit. There used to be a lot more there than there is now, but vandals have destroyed much of it. The schoolhouse and cemetary are still very interesting though.
