Jim has many unmarked and unknown graves in his cemetery as it is very old and one time they were digging a grave and found some bones because they had accidentally uncovered an unmarked grave. They replaced the bones, etc. but the state takes it very seriously and they came out and went through his dirt pile with a sieve and informed Jim that if they found any bones that he was going to jail. If an accident could be that serious just think of the trouble that this guy is in for. >> Thank goodness! This seems to indicate that bulldozing cemeteries is perhaps against the law in Oklahoma? I hope so. Please keep us informed. We are hanging on every word concerning this terrible thing.
