There is no record of this cemetery in either the USGS Geographic Names Information System or the Red River Valley Genealogy Society Cemeteries of North Dakota, Traill County. Ms
Anne Braun did record (undated) a visit to the cemetery, called it a pioneer cemetery, and recorded seven names on six headstones. All the visible burials were in the 1880's. An undated map of Stavanger Township shows at the location of Ms Braun's recording, a cemetery on the plotted land of Iver Gruah. Gruah takes up the complete north half of Section 28 with indications it is 318.50 acres and 160 acres in North East of Section 29 indicating the cemetery 'may' have taken up 1.5 acres at that time of Section 28. Although Ms Braun's directions indicate there is a road from County Road 21 north to the cemetery site, this writer has not found a map showing any public passage and therefore it should be assumed this cemetery is located on private property. Until documentation can prove differently, this writer is arbitrarily naming this cemetery Gruah Cemetery after the landowner.
