"Betty" sent me the obituary for Harriet Grant to answer your query.
The Old Town Cemetery is also known as the Oak Grove Cemetery. I do not see her nor her
family's names in the cemetery records. This cemetery was redocumented about 3 years
ago, after the cemetery was restored. No stones were found for this family. But, the
obituary says she is buried there.
Veedersburg News --Mrs. Harriet Grant, age 78, well known and highly
respected colored lady of Covington, passed away at her home on North
Fourth
street about 2 o;clock Thursday morning following an extended illness.
Her
death was due to infirmities of age.
Mrs. Grant was born in Crawfordsville May 10 1857, the daughter of
James and
Rachel Patterson Askins. She has been a resident of Covington for many
years, coming from Crawfordsville with her parents, who together with
her
husband and a daughter preceded her in death. She is survived by
several
nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were held from the home at 2 o'ckock Saturday
afternoon,
Rev. A. L. Brandenburg, of the Methodist church officiating. Burial
will be
in the old cemetery on East Liberty street, where her family is
interred.
(May 1935)
