Subject: Fw: KSRoots: Destruction of graves
I received the following message from another list. Please read it.

Fellow Genealogists;
Not long ago on one of the lists I subscribe to, there was some discussion
concerning the distruction of graves
and graveyards. The following message was sent to me by a fellow
genealogist. I was really upset after reading the article (it is online;
use
the URL). I am having a hard time believing that people can be so heartless
and unfeeling just because of 'progress'.
This IS a very disturbing problem that MUST be dealt with. Please take the
time to read this article; we must do
something to try and change the laws regarding this problem.
I certainly don't want my ancestors moved or disposed of in this manner.
Please contact your law makers and let them know how you feel. This is
indeed a disgrace to humankind. Stop this distruction now.
Please read the article at this URL. I think it will certainly open your
eyes. And, yes, this is a world wide problem.

The "Death of a Cemetery" story that Jack Eaton referenced in his 8/23/98
message to the INROOTS list this morning (below) is available on-line at:

Whether you live in Indiana or not, you need to take a minute to read this
article -- today! The same thing is happening all over the country -- even
the world. It seems nobody cares! It's "legal" and they get away with it
all the time.
Write to a State Representative or State Senator today. Don't let them
believe that, just because it's "legal" that it's morally or ethically
"right".

Thanks for listening. I believe that together we can make a difference.
