Inscription On Tombstone In Kansas




I wanted to find out if these images are authentic or photoshopped:

And this is the inscription:









Is this real or fake? Where is it? Well, I tried to find out. Here is what I found:

From the New York Times May 15, 1898:
He Died A Partisan

Notice that the above article is dated at least 8 years after Mr. Grigsby died. That could be explained by the claim that his heirs could not inherit under his will unless this inscription was placed on his tombstone, but why did they wait 8 years?

At any rate, here is a little more evidence that this is an actual tombstone in Attica Cemetery, Harper County, Kansas and not just a photoshopped image:
Nathaniel Grigsby, Friend of Abe Lincoln
