George Miller and Amelia Grant Munro appear in two different burial locations in Find-a-grave:
Dixie Union Cemetery in Peel County:
- George Miller
- Amelia Grant Munro
Greenwood Cemetery in Grey County:
- George Miller
- Amelia Grant Munro
They also appear in the the transcriptions for both graveyards.
Analysis and conclusion:
I have to think that the Greenwood Cemetery listing is the correct one and that the Dixie Union one is a mistake for a few reasons:
- George and Amelia were known to be living in Owen Sound at the time of their deaths. They left Peel region in the 1860s
- From newspaper accounts, we know that George’s funeral was held in Owen Sound
- I'm more inclined to trust the Greenwood cemetery listing, because the Greenwood Cemetery listing lists the actual burials whereas the Dixie Union one is just inscriptions. I suspect that somebody interpreted the inscription on their son George M. Miller’s stone as being for them as well.
