State officials are anxious to find any descendants of the Holloway family who are bured in the cemetery. If the heirs can't be found, the state will have to get court permission to move the nine graves in the plot, in order to finish a new Missouri 150. > Construction workers recently unearthed a marble headstone, dating from 1858, while moving a large section of water pipe. > Archaeologists later found another headstone and evidence of seven other graves. The site has not been disturbed further. > -------- > Please pass this on to other lists. > > Betty White > Santa Barbara, CA Desoto Joe/The Record Man
