The following article appeared today in the Lafayette
Journal and Courier pertaining to recent vandalism in
the Fowler Cemetery. I wanted to send this out in case
anyone on these lists has more information.
Fowler Cemetery seeks help finding families
FOWLER -- The board of directors of the Fowler
Cemetery has been able to track down descendants of
people buried in 16 of 21 crypts vandalized in
December.
Now the board is looking for help finding the families
of the other five.
A Fowler resident visiting the cemetery Dec. 13
discovered that 21 crypt doors had been broken and 27
tombstones knocked down. The board is trying to
contact family members to help pay for restorations to
the mausoleum.
"The financial responsibility to replace those doors
belongs to the family," said Shirley Leonard,
secretary-treasurer of the Fowler Cemetery's board of directors.
