    Troy Daily News Sep. 20, 1937 - 
    Troy woman buried in Thomas Cemetery,  Funeral services for Mrs. Addie Grigsby, 77 wife of George Grigsby of 
    Pennsylvania avenue were held at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon from the Irvin Funeral Home and burial was made
    in Thomas Cemetery south of Troy. Pall bearers included Norris & Elwood Hackett, Kenneth Babcock, George Frees,
    George Macy & Art Reed. 
    In 2008 the township trustees made arrangement for straightening the tombstones so the mowers could mow with little effort.  
    So now you don't know if the stone is over the grave exactly.  So keep this in mind when visiting.
