This is a regular size ammo box with plenty of space for trades. At the Montrose Cemetery, which is open to the public seven days a week, from 7:00 a.m. to sunset. The gates are closed at night.
On October 20, 1856, Cyrus Sibley and his wife Eliza deeded to a group of named Trustees this nine acre block for "use as a burial place." Cyrus Sibley was the founder of Montrose which he established in 1847. He is buried in the cemetery and there are at least ten other marked graves from the 1800's.
The Historic Grey-Oliver Cottage is located in the southeast corner of the cemetery. Built in the early 1850's, the Cottage was placed on the National Register of Historic Places along with a dozen other Montrose homes in 1976. It was originally located on Second Street, just two blocks from its present location. For many years it was the home of Ann Sibley Oliver (great-granddaughter of Cyrus Sibley) and her husband Jack Oliver.
