The town of Mentone, Indiana, is in Kosciusko County, in Harrison and Franklin Townships. It is twenty eight miles south west of Warsaw, the county seat. The Cemetery is to the south of the town with the rail road running to the north and S. Morgan street on the west. It is a moderate size cemetery that is well kept up.
Gene and Lucie Field visited the Mentone Cemetery in July of 2009 and photographed the tombstones of many of the people buried there that have a connection to the Wilson and the Grasz families.
The name Gross, and Grass are somewhat interchangable. Some of the members of the family went by Gross and some by Grass. Miriam's father and uncles had changed the name to Grasz but seem to be the only ones to have done so.
These people are related to Miriam Grasz Field to whom the authors have dedicated this web site. When possible the relationship to Miriam will be given.
