I was looking at map from 1895, and I seen this cemetery on there, so I came over to check it out, quiet little place out middle of nowhere. so I a  put cache here, There is conflicting stories of what this one is called, some call it , Goldsmith,, some say its Greenwood, Well, I did some research, and found a map from 1907 that showed this area to be- Reno Township, and the, two farms back then where this cemetery is, were owned by Goldsmith on west side and Booth on east, GREENWOOD CEMETERY The Greenwood Cemetery is located from Pond Creek two miles south, five and 1/4 miles east in the NW quarter of Section 23 Township 25 N Range 5 W. The earliest stone is that of Daisy Pearl Hay, daughter of H.V. and G.N. Hay, who died March 7, 1896 at the age of 17 years, 11 months and 2 days. A plat and lot owners map shows the following as lot owners: Arthur Goldsmith, George Goldsmith, Walter Goldsmith, H.V. Hay, J.R. Eaton, Archie Gelano, the Conine family, Beryl Elliott, the Temple family, the Holzberlien family, the Knowels family, Mary Love, the Buck family, and the Goldsmith family. (book 2, at page 27, Grant county clerk’s records) Annie M. Bamford and Charles M. Bamford, her husband, conveyed a tract to James R. Eaton, John R.
