For all on the Allen Co., site; About 10 weeks ago, I was surfing the web and hit upon a posting from a lady that had recently been to Warren Co., and doing what we like best, hands on research. Unfortunately, she went to visit one of two cemeteries that had "Family" buried in them. To her horror, BOTH sites had been totally desecrated and, she found 6 stones from one site standing up against a tree. Both cemeteries had been removed with one having a home and grazing cattle and the other had been bladed under for farming. I was next stunned by the fact that I had Family buried at both sites and proceeded to hit the roof about it. I emailed a cousin (Not Related to the families of those buried there) and he proceeded to start making calls. This cousin, Bob Cron, began getting the typical run around as in "It's not our job", call some one else. Bob thusly started calling every legal agency in Warren County, then by calling State officials about this type of situation and, was told by the Attorney General, Bob Stump, that his office does not and will not approach this and told to call the local law enforcement. They in turn said that it was not their jurisdiction and to call the County Attorney......................You guessed it, not theirs to handle. After dozens of emails to every State Representative, Attorney General a second time, he finally got copies of the laws posted. After all of this has trickled down to a couple of positive responses from a local State Rep. who in turn is looking into this. I personally have sent emails and a couple of letters to "Authorities" with no response. I guess that my living in Arizona leaves me with no clout other than the fact that my entire family lines are from Kentucky and, 19 Surnames are located in Warren Co., alone. 3 are from Allen county. One question that I must ask is how many people spend time in Kentucky doing Genealogy research at the Filson Club, State Historical Society, Every County Courthouse, Graves, and foremost for some, The Western Kentucky University Genealogy library??? At this point, we're talking millions of tourist dollars being spent in Kentucky, and we know that this can be an expensive hobby! What totally sets me off regarding this matter is that many of these same officials surely have family buried in these county cemeteries. I'm not certain how many are in Allen Co., but Warren Co., has between 500 and 1000 of these cemeteries. How many of you out there have family in one of theses cemeteries and how many more are being desecrated daily in Kentucky??? The Bowling Green Daily News has finally opened up to this problem and did a feature story on it last week and you can visit that site on www.bgdailynews.net<http://www.bgdailynews.net/> . Also, there have been some letters posted on the Opinion page. It has stirred up a hornets nest but needs many more to email or, write to your state rep. and make noise. The results from the site with the stones found by a tree are being resolved with the property owner, that did NOT remove the stones, and with family members of the George Flora family buried there. The stones are being cleaned and reset by a monument co., and the owner is willing to fence and protect the area. A dedication stone will be erected by the road as well. Some things do have a happy ending. Please, get involved in some way to protect these sites and protect them for the future. If you wish to see copies of the laws, letters sent, current Photos, addresses of officials or, have questions please feel free to contact Bob Cron at: fpslug33@aol.com<mailto:fpslug33@aol.com> or you can contact me as well. Bob has 2 letters from families that have graves that have been desecrated and at best are Horror stories. Thanks for reading this and allowing me to vent. Best to ALL, Don
