Discovery of cemetery halts roadwork--Associated Press-Kansas
City-Construction of a new highway in south Kansas City has been halted by
the discovery of a small cemetery dating back to the Civil War era. State
officials are anxious to find any descendants of the Holloway family who are
buried in the cemetery. If the heirs can't be found, the state will have to
get court permission to move the nine graves in the plot, in order to finish
a new Missouri 150. Construction workers recently unearthed a marble
headstone, dating from 1858, while moving a large section of water pipe.
Archaeologists later found another headstone and evidence of seven other
graves. The site has not been disturbed further.
