Begin Removal of 1,700 in Cemeteries
The task of digging up 1,700 corpses, moving them and then burying them again, all in
six weeks, is under way.
The Jefferson County Re-Interment Assn. took up the job yesterday at the army's
60,000 acre Jefferson ordnance proving ground north of here. The association has
a$106,425 contract to remove the bodies from seven cemeteries inside the area.
