Cemetery found!

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 bured 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.
Please pass this on to other lists.
