Please read it. ---------- > From: Jennifer Ohmes <johmes@pld.com> Fellow Genealogists; Not long ago on one of the lists I subscribe to, there was some discussion concerning the distruction of graves and graveyards. The following message was sent to me by a fellow genealogist. I was really upset after reading the article (it is online; use the URL). I am having a hard time believing that people can be so heartless and unfeeling just because of 'progress'. This IS a very disturbing problem that MUST be dealt with. Please take the time to read this article; we must do something to try and change the laws regarding this problem. I certainly don't want my ancestors moved or disposed of in this manner. Please contact your law makers and let them know how you feel. This is indeed a disgrace to humankind. Stop this distruction now. Please read the article at this URL. I think it will certainly open your eyes. And, yes, this is a world wide problem. ********************* The "Death of a Cemetery" story that Jack Eaton referenced in his 8/23/98 message to the INROOTS list this morning (below) is available on-line at: http://www.starnews.com/news/citystate/98/aug/0822SN_rhoads.html Whether you live in Indiana or not, you need to take a minute to read this article -- today! The same thing is happening all over the country -- even the world. It seems nobody cares! It's "legal" and they get away with it all the time. Write to a State Representative or State Senator today. Don't let them believe that, just because it's "legal" that it's morally or ethically "right". Lois ************************* Thanks for listening. I believe that together we can make a difference.
