Grace Brown, for whom Graceland Cemetery is named, was the child of Geo. W. "Hoo-Doo" Brown and Sarah E. Brown. In early 1887, Grace Brown, her brother Parley, and an aunt died of scarlet fever and were buried on the Brown homestead. Soon after, the Graceland Cemetery Association was formed and acquired the land from Brown. The site, on the Old Jones and Plummer Trail, is also dedicated to the unknown early burials on this hill.
