Unknown Girl - Granby, MA



Unknown Girl
Granby, MA

N 42° 15.448 W 072° 31.818


Quick Description: The grave of an unknown girl is located in West Street Cemetery in Granby, MA.
She became locally known as "Granby Girl." When the body was found it was apparent that she was killed 3 to 12 months before being found. There was no identification on the body and fingerprints were gone. In 1978, DNA analysis was unavailable and dental records did not produce a match.

For many years the grave of the "Granby Girl" was marked with a simple white cross that read "Unknown Girl." The people of the town raised $500 for a permanent stone marker. The pink granite grave marker is inscribed:

UNKNOWN
NOV. 15, 1978
IN GOD'S CARE
