it worth posting
Cemetery found!
This was in Tues, 8 May, Springfield MO News Leader,p. 5B:
Discovery of cemetery halts roadwork--Associated Press-Kansas City--
Construction of a new highway in south Kansas City has been halted by the
discovery of a small cemetery
dating back to the Civil War era. State officials are anxious to find any
descendants of the Holloway family who are
buired in the cemetery. If the heirs can't be found, the state will have
to get court permission to move the nine
graves in the plot, in order to finish a new Missouri 150. Construction
workers recently unearthed a marble
headstone, dating from 1858, while moving a large section of water pipe.
Archaeologists later found another
headstone and evidence of seven other graves. The site has not been disturbed
further. Please pass this on to other
lists.
