Note: It appears that both Grant and his son Royal, who died in 1918, were first interred in Union cemetery in Jefferson county (where there were members of the GALLIHER ancestors buried), but were later reinterred to Evergreen Cemetery in Fairfield in 3rd.075. Both obtiuaries for father and son refer to the initial burials being to Union cemetery. A notation in the Evergreen Cemetery numerical lot listing, however, uses "Zion" as the cemetery name from which Grant and an infant were removed. Not sure if the "Zion" was in reference to "Union" cemetery by mistake or what.

Admin note: Grant's wife was Margaret Jane MORRIS GALLIHER; she died in 1926 and was buried in Evergreen with him.
