George was the son of George Seymour & Freelove (Smith) Griswold.
We do not know where his father was buried at this time.
Those of us who researched this family think George Jr went in search of his father.
He married Samantha Jane Sams 17 Oct 1880 in Umatilla Co., OR. He and Samantha had no children. They divorced and she remarried.
I am still looking for George's father's burial.
obit-I don't have the date or name of this newspaper.
