Greetings from northern Indiana Ernie and list. As I write this many of you
are getting hammered with severe weather. Hope you all are safe.
While I fully understand the ramifications and problems a burial of this
type poses, I must admit that if my family had owned this land for 125 years and
my ancestors were buried on this land, I too would want to be buried with
them.
There is one thing that the obit refers to that may answer some of the
concerns. First of all, burial is at a later date. This could mean Mr.Wolfe is
going to be cremated, which does not pose as much as a threat as being
interred. The only concern here would be the foundation for his grave stone.
Secondly, this could mean that the family intends to thoroughly research the
burials or take their time in choosing a burial location so as to not disturb
anything. Who knows...maybe his parents or grandparents showed him where it was
OK to be buried when they were still living or the family may have had better
records than the township.
Again, I understand the concern this scenario poses, but I also know that if
I had the chance, that is where I would choose to be buried... To me this
would be a tough call...
