Anyone know if the people at N.15th rd and E15th rd On the farm property if they had that cemetery relocated? The tombstones are gone and no evidence of a grave located there. I don't recall anything in the news about relocating this cemetery or exhuming bodies from there and relocating them.

If there was a cemetery at that location, is there evidence in exhuming? Did you inform the local authorities?

I don't remember any relocation in recent memory. You didn't think to ask the owner of the property when you were out there?

Very interesting Rocket, keep us informed, personally I would never relocate a cemetery because I wouldn't want too stir the spirits.

Maybe they decided to go tombless for ease in maintaining it?

I don't think that is legal to have unmarked graves of humans. I do know those stones are gone and so is the white picket fence that surrounded the tiny cemetery.

My grandfather was buried in a "Potter Field" in the cemetary behind Miller Park in Bloomington. It is a very large cemetary and people were there to staff it and keep those records. My Aunt found the plot and put up a grave stone. God Bless her. Now we can find the grave. (Didn't know my grandfather as he died in 1933. Born in 1860 just b-4 there was any fighting in the Civil War.) Cemetaries are a great soucre of family history. I don't mind them at all. Heck, our remains have a new home in Chenoa.

I have learned all kinds of family history, since the passing of my uncle. Found out we had an opera star and am related to the real Box Car Willy. Also a TV maker and a car maker. His nick name was Madman.

I don't think that is legal to have unmarked graves of humans. Maybe a public one, but even then I don't think so. There are certain rules, like depth, proof of birth, cause of death, etc. Riverside doesn't make peeps do it. I'd like to see you find the law that states it to prove your statement, after all you're always citing rules, laws and such!

There are many unmarked graves all over. I do not think, there is a rule against it.

You do know where the "paupers" section is at Riverview, don't you...which none of them have anything. I know that Riverview was the public cemetery that all paupers ended up being buried in. Sad though, really...no stone, no rememberance of that person's whole life....must not have meant much in life, and so as in death too. M
