Are there records of burials that "used" to be in there?
I'd be interested in knowing who was there and who was moved.

Subject: [INRANDOL] Heaston Cemetery
Ok I talked to a few people today who have lived in Randolph County, about Heaston
cemetery and was told there are no more stones there.
That the ground is owned by the Armory.
You can see where the cemetery used to be, and the little creek that runs through the
piece of ground. I was told the land flooded often, and families were complaining about
the water. They moved several of the bodies to Fountain Park and several were left
behind. The ground was stirred around a bit, and stones removed, and some of the families
were told no remains were to be found. From what I have read and what I have been told, it
looks like several people were upset about the conditions of the flooding land, and then
they were not happy with what was done about it either.
Anyone else hear any stories about this cemetery??
