Grave Destroyed Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2000 16:37:24 -0700 From: "Rose Parks" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> References: <[email protected]> These cemeteries were destroyed in more recent years but some of the persons on the Lenoir County list were working to get 2 cemeteries checked where Richard Caswell was supposed to be buried and they wrote enough letters to Governor, and Senators or Rep. and newspapers and believe they got something started. I can find out the persons responsible for getting this accomplished and you can contact them to find out how they went about it. There are laws in Texas to punish those who destroy cemeteries, but the person still has to be caught, which may be hard in some cases, and sometimes a seldom used cemetery may go awhile before the deed is discovered. It is vandalism at it's worst! I believe it was mentioned on the Lenoir list that the Sheriff was responsible for starting the investigation. Rose
