When the town of Gravity was started it was north of section 30 where
the Ladoga Cemetery is marked. The cemetery
at that time was, of course, the Gravity Cemetery. Later after
Gravity moved to section 22, the cemetery was refered to as
"Old Gravity" and after James Elliott laid out and started
Ladoga, the cemetery took that name.
The cemetery at Gravity now is the Washington Cemetery.
