[or-roots] Historic Cemeteries

[DAVIESW739 at aol.com]

I remember as teenager back in the early 50s when they build Folsom Dam and  
Lake near me. They spent days just removing all of the known graves from the  
valley and putting them all together at a new site with the remains and the  
stones. It was quite a job and the new cemetery is quite big but the relatives  
can still go and see there ancestors and that's what its all about. I don't 
know  when we took this terrible attitude toward the dead but I think we need 
to do  all we can to see that Oregon gets new laws that protect them. It should 
flat  out be against the law to desecrate a grave or move it without the 
permission of  the descendants and or a court order and then they should only be 
moved not just  plowed under and forgot.
