Dear Mr. Clark, Just read your article about the Lewellen Cemetery. Excellent job. Your story hit all the right points. That is to say, the developer doesn't own the property, despite what their legal counsel said. It's ironic that at one time the cemetery had it's monuments intact. Now, if no one plowed the field or planted the field in all these years, just what do you suppose happened to those grave markers? Can we spell "anticipatory demolition"? Someone had to have done this on purpose. We have tombstones standing on overgrown hillsides where cattle grazed for years and years. Yet one farmer can't manage to avoid one small 1/4 acre cemetery out in the middle of the Indiana plains out of respect for the dead? Cris West deserves a standing ovation. She is a marvel. Crossman deserves the Poltergeist Award of the year.
