In Dearborn County Rupel developers have saved two old cemeteries. the first
is in Hidden Valley Lake, a very large community. Its garden club adopted
the cemetery years ago. The second is in their sister development known as
Valley Woods. They have enlised the help of the township trustee to keep
this one safe. As far as I know they have not actually restored either
cemetery but they are safeguarding them from harm.Chris McHenry

Subject: [INPCRP] DEVELOPERS THAT HAVE SPARED A CEMETERY
Does annyone on the list have any verifyiable information on a Developer
that
has saved a cemetery in the state of Indiana and incorprated it into
his
project. Ben Hershberg Southern Indiana News Bureau corespondant of the
Louisville Courier Journal would like to put it in his story. I spent 2
hrs
with him and a photographer, and the New Albany Twp. Trustee
disscussing
and
looking at sites that have been moved, destroyed, and the one saved.
He
says
If one can or will do it, why can't more instead of moving them.
If you
know
of such a cemetery let me know. The Indy Star is also interested.
(The
Trustee carrys a petition with him to get everyone he talks to, to sign)

Quote from William Gladstone (1809-1897), three-time Prime Minister of
England
and Victorian contemporary of Benjamin Disraeli:
"Show me the manner in which a nation or community
cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical
exactness the tender mercies of its people, their
respect for the laws of the land, and their loyalty
to high ideals."
