I am glad to see that the appropriate actions were taken regarding this marker. I know there's no way to actually tell if it was taken off a grave or was just a memorial item for the family since it's not an actual stone. In most States I know of, there are laws regarding the desecration of a grave, and depending on how much damaged, in my State of North Carolina, it can either be a serious misdemeanor or even a felony. There is a General Statute in North Carolina laws about this, and we fight to keep all graves preserved and honored. I've seen too many farm fields where graves have been plowed over, stones moved, etc, and several times before, I paid to put an ad in the local newspaper that showed the General Statute. I just feel it's up to those of us who really care to prevent this from happening. If anyone has a question about the laws of your state regarding the desecration of graves, check with an attorney, or if one is unwilling to help you, contact your State Attorney General's office and have them send you a copy of the General Statute. I applaud and commend the work you've done to insure that this marker goes back to where it should be. Edward
