Hello everyone, My husband heard from a friend that a Civil War cemetery in Franklin, Tennessee is in jeopardy of being developed over. Yes, I mean over. They will not remove the bodies. Has anyone heard anything about this? Angela Tielking

There was a segment on CBS Sunday Morning this past Sunday about the book "Widow of the South" which is about the lady who created a cemetery on her property after the Civil War by reintering bodies of soldiers who were buried on an adjacent property where the battle was fought. The owner of that property was going to plow over the graves. This was a couple of years after the Civil War. The lady's home was used as a field hospital during and after the battle and she was profoundly effected by the experience. She made creation and maintenance of the cemetery her life's work. The book is a novelized story of her efforts. According to the segment, the cemetery is not in jeapordy of development, but the adjacent battlefield, which is now a golf course is.
