Does anybody know the statute number for the duties of the County Surveyor?
What does the law say he/she can and cannot do?

The only problem I see with this is that not all county surveyors are
registered surveyors. In many cases, they do not 'survey' at all, only
maintain the legal survey markers and ditches, as required by law.

Cheryl,
Is there a way for those of us in California to read the text of this
bill? We're having our own problems. We have one bill that was
introduced to create the California Historic Cemetery Commission to
address many of the problems you also seem to be trying to grapple with.
Another bill that will soon be introduced actually states that if a
landowner has property "within which" an historic cemetery is located,
that the county surveyor must survey and record the cemetery and the
property owner offered a property tax credit to assign title to the
cemetery to the county. (It's more detailed than that, but that's the
gist.)
It is supposedly the policy of the state of California to provide for the
protection and preservation of cemeteries. They could have fooled me.
I think you and your associates are doing a terrific job. We're all in
this together, because this is happening nationwide. In California, we
do have the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) which requires
projects to be reviewed before being approved.
The Catholic Diocese of Sacramento sued El Dorado County, a residential
developer and Pacific Bell for cutting through an old cemetery (they had
abandoned). But it took some chiding to get the Bishop to act. We
threatened to write a brochure about six of the cemeteries his Diocese
has abandoned in the Mother Lode region!
Best of luck to you.

Yesterday I attended the hearing on HB 1884 before the Senate Committee on
Corrections and Criminal and Civil Procedures. Quite a few lawyers on this
committee.
The bill was the first item of business, rather than the last. The bills's
House sponsor, Rep. Markt Lytle presented the bill at the invitation of
Sen. Wheeler, one of the Senate sponsors. Following questions from the
Committee, various people testified, including me. Other spokespersons
represented the Indiana Historical Society, Historic Landmarks, Inc.,
City/Counties Assoc., and a cemetery organization whose name I did not
catch, as well as lobbyists for utilities and the coal industry.
There were many questions from the Committee, some of which were later
answered in testimony of various people: would failure to record interests
negate the legal transfer of property (no); was it fair to landowners who
lived within 100 ft of a cemetery (quite a few people in towns and cities)
to have to file a development plan if they wanted to put up a shed, or put
in a swing set, etc (Lytle thought this could be worked out in some
amendment); what was the exemption for coal companies all about (reiteration
of existing law, which already requires identification and protection or
moving of cemeteries and approvals by DNR prior to developing a new mine or
facility); why were there exemptions for utility companies (they wanted
them); do utility companies have the same type of checks through DNR prior
to a project (not made clear, but no); was it fair to ask landowners to have
a survey made of a cemetery on their property before they record their
interests (some members thought no, but Lytle thought that amending language
might be developed to satisfy this concern; DNR doesn't have the resources
to do a legal property-type survey, but a post-hearing idea is that DNR or
their partners in doing the registering of cemeteries/burial grounds might
be able to assist with a GPS survey if that would be acceptable to county
recorders). Post-hearing I suggested the possibility that the bill could
create a small fund that landowners could apply to for assistance, if they
found the matter of having a survey of the cemetery on their property to be
a financial burden that they or the buyer could not resolve.
For the presently-exempted-from-anything utility companies, I suggested to
several people that they be required to check the register of
cemeteries/burial grounds, to make sure the project that their projects that
involve disturbance of the ground (not overhead line projects) will not
disturb known cemeteries.
To handle this efficiently, DHPA could have an abstract of the register on
their web page, listing the cemetery name/ID#, and location according to
Township, Range, Section No. (specific location of burial grounds to 1/4,
1/4, 1/4 would violate federal requirements, so finer location data not
provided at least for burial grounds). To see if a registered
cemtery/burial ground is located in a particular T/R /S then a person would
only need to do a "find in this page" 16N/4W/22, for example, and they would
arrive at the information for that locale or find no record. I would be
interested to know what people think of this idea.
No vote was taken in the Committee. Thanks to the leadership of the
Chairman, Rep. Lytle, and Sens. Wheeler, Alexa, Bray, and Kenley agreed to
work as a subcommittee to draft language that might satisfy the Committee.
The Committee will meet again some time next week. That will be the last
chance for a vote.
So, stay tuned.
Or in a less passive mode you could write or call your Senator if you're are
interested. If Senators know that they have a constituent interested in a
particular bill, they will pass this on to their colleagues on the Senate
Committee. The members of the Senate Committee are: Alexa, Bray, Clark,
Howard, Kenley, Meeks (Chairman), Mrvan, Long, Waterman, Washington, and
Wyss.
Its hard for anyone to be against preservation of cemeteries and burial
grounds, and compromise is needed to get bills through. But there's also
not much sense in having a watered-down bill that doesn't do the job and
gives exemptions right and left to this particular interest group, and
that.....
IMHO: I believe it is this point that Senators need to hear.
Let's hope the matter is not remanded back to the Natural Resources
legislative study committee.

Cheryl Munson posted a notice the other day that the SENATE Committee on
Corrections and Criminal
and Civil Procedures will be deciding the fate of HB 1185 on Wednesday,
February 16 (that's TOMORROW) at 1:30 p.m. in Room 233 of the State House.
I know Cheryl is going to try to be there. Is ANYBODY ELSE going to be able
to attend?
I missed all of last week at work because of some surgery, so there's just no
way in the world I can get away from the office this week. We've got a trial
coming up on Thursday, we've got clients stacked up like cord wood and the
computer network is on the fritz so we can't get the bills out. In other
words, I was gone a few days and the place went to heck in a hand basket! :-)
Please, can any of you attend the hearing on Wednesday? I did notice that HB
1184 is at the tail end of the agenda posted at
http://www.state.in.us/legislative/calendars.html, so if you can't be there at
1:30 sharp, you can probably still get there in time.
If this Committee kills this bill tomorrow, that's the end of the road. If
you haven't already done so, there's still time to rip off a well thought out,
concise e-mail to the Senators on the Committee and its Senate sponsors (see
http://www.rootsweb.com/~inpcrp/2000Legislation.html for their e-mail
addresses).
Remember, HB 1184 primarily provides a 100-foot buffer around known cemeteries
and burial grounds, at least until a development plan is approved by DNR and
it will allow the DNR to establish a "registry" of cemeteries and burial
grounds in Indiana.
I have suggested to the Senators that the Township Trustees should be mandated
to file a report with the DNR identifying the location, size, ownership, etc.
of all the cemeteries in their township. This should not be a burden on the
Trustees as they are already required by statute to "locate" all the
cemeteries in their Township and, if taxes are NOT paid on the cemetery
property and if it has been abandoned and neglected, then they are responsible
for its care and maintenance. <See
http://www.ai.org/legislative/ic/code/title23/ar14/ch68.html for the Trustee's
statutory responsibilities.>
If they are already required to "identify" all the cemeteries in order to
determine their ownership, taxation, condition, etc., then it shouldn't
require much effort at all to share that information with the DNR. I would
like to see this reporting process include the submission of PHOTOGRAPHS of
the cemetery sites.
Personally, I'd like to see the Trustees be required to file ANNUAL reports
(with photographs) on their efforts with respect to cemetery identification
and maintenance.
Your thoughts?

I was a member of Wolf's Church when they did a similar thing about 20
years
ago. My uncle was one of the people who did the actual disinterment and
transfer. It was done in a very respectful and dignified manner. Wolf's
mounted the old tombstones in the foundation wall of the new addition.
You
can walk around the church and see the tombstones forever preserved.
Does anyone know if Wolf's cementary was ever transcribed? I have lots
of
relatives there and would gladly transfer a written transcription to the
web. Unfortunately I am 2500 miles away right now.

me
add just a little information. The graves in question are those on the
east
side
of the church building. It is my belief and the belief of many others
that
many
of these markers had already been relocated in prior renovation projects,
thus
there would probably be few remains to relocate. The congregation has
already
transcribed the information from the markers and a permanent monument
containing
the names will be erected. This, by the way, satisfies Pennsylvania law
on
this
issue. Having access to Purdon's Statutes, I looked it up. While I have
concerns as well about the relocation of graves, I do not believe that
this
project will actually disturb many original interments. For those who
are
able,
I certainly think that attendance at the hearing might be valuable,
although,
since the church has taken steps to abide by the letter of the law, it is
my
belief that the Judge will grant the request.
The sadder issue for Quickel's is what happened to all the tombstones
that
were
carelessly stacked at the edge of the embankment at the rear of the
cemetery
on
the opposite side of the road where the original building stood and where
the
oldest burials took place. Those stones are lost to us forever. For the
information of those who may not know, the cemetery was transcribed as a
part of
a WPA project and the transcription is available at the York County

Thanks to Ruth Pride for advising that the Vincennes Sun Commercial ran an
article on Friday about the desecration of the Revolutionary War veteran's
grave in Washington, IN which featured quotes from Bob Hill of Bicknell, who
is the President of the Knox County Cemetery Commission.
The Vincennes Sun Commercial story is presently on-line at:
http://204.155.175.83/News/News_4/news_4.html
but will be replaced soon with a more recent news story.
The Indiana AP wire is now reporting that the vandals who dug into the grave
of Rev. War veteran William Horrall probably did NOT find any remains or
artifacts.
Dr. Rick Jones of the DNR believes that, since the team of archeologists who
investigated the site found no trace of human remains or artifacts in the soil
at the grave, it's unlikely that the vandals, who dug a hole 3 feet in
diameter and 7 to 10 feet deep, could have removed the soldier's bones or
clothes so completely.

I belong to a PA list and this came throught this week. Other states
are having cemetery problems as well. When we were in PA in Sept. we
visited a church in Lebanon Co. that goes back to the 1760's. While at
the library we noticed a picture with a cemetery behind the church. We
looked it up as I had been informed our ancestors were buried there. The
only thing behind the church was one stone because he was a pastor. The
rest had been blacktopped over. When I inquired what happened to the
stones & graves, the answer was some of the stones were stored in the
crawl space under the chapel. They needed the cemetery for parking and
construction of the new chapel. The grave issue was not addressed by
them and there was not a complete list made of the graves when it was
blacktopped. SAD, SAD.
Here's another one. Note they are going by the law and feel safe and
right in doing so.

Frankie Eads has advised that the Evansville Courier ran a story on Friday
morning (2/11/2000) about the desecration of the grave of William HORRALL (a
Revolutionary War veteran who died in 1842) in Washington, Indiana.
The story is presently on-line at http://www.courierpress.com or you can link
to it directly from the INPCRP "In the News" page on the Indiana Pioneer
Cemeteries Restoration Project website at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~inpcrp/inthenews.html.

Thanks to Ruth Pride for alerting us to a news story on the front page of the
2/9/2000 Washington Times Herald about the discovery that the grave of Rev.
War veteran William Horrall (1766-1842) had been robbed.
The full story is presently at:
http://WashTimesHerald.com/newsrm/local.html
but it will likely be replaced this evening by Thursday's top story.
Hopefully, the story will then be accessible through a search of the archives
at the paper's website.
