I enjoyed reading this info as I did not know about this kind of thing being a rampant thing in those days. Maybe it will help more people to know what happened to a person they may not be able to find. Also the truth is the truth and if a descendant or family membe4r knows of this maybe it will help them as well. 1... Robbing the grave of contents, material or body wise is and always has been a crime. No excuses?? 2...Some people do things when young that they wouldn't have done later in life and also most are appalled that they could have done this and tend to hide that time in their life. maybe they don't like genealogy for that reason of something in the past. 3... When young and some kids get together they may think it a smart thing to do.. But if caught most will wished they hadn't done such things. Anyway it was enlightening as many of us don't see things the same as the next one . Freedom of speech but not freedom as you CAN do anything. Some things are not permitted ever to be to do.

I should have never posted this message to begin with and for that you have my apology. I did NOT post this in an effort to to harrass you, rather to inform you that this man was a body snatcher.

Murder was often committed to keep their secrets quiet. I am NOT saying that Beach committed any murders but I am suggesting that had he known, he would have kept quiet. > > Body snatchers were a highly well organized and secret organization for they had to be for their very existence. > > Likewise I am also disappointed in your decison NOT to give your proceeds to the cemeteries in Ohio.
