The following letter was sent to me by one of my a list members, if any one wants to join in this effort that is up to you. Jeannie <>< The letter I am forwarding to you speaks for it's self... Mr Muncrief has an attorney working 'pro bono' drafting the necessary paperwork to try and change the antiquated laws that do little to protect our old cemeteries. Emailing Mr Muncrief at mudman@brightok.net that you are FOR changing the vague antiquated laws will show lawmakers that there is BACKING for this cause.........OUR CAUSE! Thanks for your time Carolyn Mackey Byrum Subject: Grave desecration Carolyn, My name is Dennis Muncrief. I live in Sulphur, Oklahoma. I just read your cemetary registration of Dripping Springs and the part about the farmer wanting to graze cows. He must be desperate for grass if he needs the 4' x 6' spot where your grandmother is buried. Recently a farmer decided to build a barn in Marshall County, OK. Unfortunate a small cemetary was where he needed to build it. This "man" simply scrapped away the stones to make room for the new barn. Unfortunately for me, the cemetary was where my relatives were buried in the mid 1800's when they came to Indian Territory. The family was livid to say the least. The barn is very nice. This cemetary was on private land that was donated 100 years ago by the, then owner, for a cemetary. Generations of families were buried there with the understanding it would always be a cemetary. The current law says that the owner of private land where there are cemeteries can do anything he wants with it. Now if you are an Indian, there are federal laws against this 'grave robbing'. Isn't stealing the land where ancestors are located grave robbing? A friend of mine in California told the story of a cousin that went to a cemetary in Grady County, Oklahoma to visit the dead relatives. When she arrived, the farmer was bulldozing the grave stones into a ditch. When she protested, he pulled a gun on her and threatened to shoot her. She went to the Sheriff and he told her there was no law against this practice. The point of this letter is to tell you that there are many who feel as you do. We need to organize. I have a friend in Washington State who is drafting a letter that I plan to send to legislators in every state making it a felony to destroy graves or grave markers that were placed in antiquity or of recent pioneers such as Oklahoma pioneers. There were no cemeteries back then. There were no towns. I plan to organize people like yourself in every state to hound their state legislators until a law is passed in all 50 states to protect these pioneer cemeteries. It is up to people like us to do something. We can be mad separately or we can be mad collectively. We will be a little more powerful if we organize. This has me mad as hell. I have talked to about a half dozen people in different states and they are upset as well with similar occurrences in their States. Want to join the bandwagon? Dennis

Hi, Jeannie, Thanks for responding. My problem was that I didn't know the county. I just knew KY. Savilla Hanks was born in Montgomery Co. so that is where I checked first. The courthouse there burned in 1863 destroying the marriage records. I was checking all counties close to Montgomery first before moving outward. I think it was Montgomery, though. Thank you for checking your records and I will try Brown Co., OH, too, if I don't have any luck. Better to run out all options than to quit midstream. Michelle At first there was nothing. Then God said 'Let there be light!' Then there was still nothing. But you could see it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean Dalrymple" <motherd@theriver.com> To: <KYNICHOL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2000 8:30 AM Subject: RE: [KYNICHOL] marriage question What county were they married in?

(Aren't we all looking for that?!?) I am in a strange bind. I need to know the county that a marriage took place. I know the name: James Craig to Savilla Hanks. I know the date: 21 Mar/Apr 1803. I know the state: KY. I need to know the county. I am checking all of the counties in close proximity to where they lived. Thanks in advance, Michelle Clark hiswill@midwest.net At first there was nothing. Then God said 'Let there be light!' Then there was still nothing. But you could see it.
