I would imagine this is not an uncommon occurrence.
There are several similar stories in the town where I
live. The Catholic cemetery used to be right next to
the church and they moved the graves across town at
some point. Years later when they were building a new
building next to the church they dug up bones and
grave stones. There's also a legend that the original
city cemetery was in a now-unknown location and when
they relocated the cemetery they only moved the
stones, nothing else.

A backhoe operator who was working downtown last year
was telling me when he first started his job, he was
clearing soil for still another parking lot just West
of Diamond Chain and ran across Confederate soldier's
buried 6 deep. He had to carefully remove the bones
and they were re-interned at Crown Hill. Many
articles about Greenlawn are about the many times
bones were found over the years. Many bodies and
their tombstones never made it in the move. Some were
washed out in the floods from the White River over the
years too. Bob
