<DIV>I do not recall where, but some place in all my many messages I saved there
are several mentions of cemeteries that need saved, needed care , needed a new
owner and some that all the stones were removed and bulldozed by new property
owners and or developers.</DIV>
<DIV> I think all cemeteries should be left as is and taken
care of by some one, there are lots of people who do care about them even if
they are not related.</DIV>
<DIV> I remember one person who found the location of their pioneer
people and went there to find all the stones bulldozed to the fence line and
cucumbers planed there ! ;(</DIV>
<DIV> My Own people who buried theirs on the property they lived -
since sold to others - those places are lost, unmarked by family or were marked
with wood , one place of my ancestors> Walt owns, (( I am glad he does,
Walt has respect of these places)) how ever no one knows were they are there, I
trust Walt )))</DIV>
<DIV> Another ( John Matney ) on the Applegate, was sold , those new
people put up a 6 foot fence and Will not let us visit those graves.</DIV>
<DIV> So I know how it feels to be lost or locked out.</DIV>
