    3. You have my sympathy and I am hoping you find a solution. Please let me know of anything you come up with as I have been going through a similar dilemma. A two acre sight was sold a few years ago that included Ebenezer Cemetery, about two miles west of Higbee which contained probably 25 or 30 graves including a mass grave of several Civil War Confederate Soldiers killed nearby. The last burial I have found so far was a Mrs. Morgan Hudson who was buried Wednesday August 7, 1918. A large mobile home was placed next to the cemetery and within a two year period all of the stones disappeared and the land leveled with a bulldozer, with the exception of my great Grandparents graves. This stone was larger and enclosed in an iron fence. He had died in 1892 and she in 1880. In discussing with the Higbee Cemetery Association I was told that moving the graves was a futile effort as probably nothing would be found when it was dug up. We had the stone moved to the Higbee Cemetery and placed next to my Grandparents as it will at least be kept in a safe place for their memory. Am anxious to hear the solutions that you come up with.
