In a small group of tall trees, in one of the newest subdivisions in Maryville, sits a tiny graveyard that is older than the town itself. The Krome Cemetery sits between the tee box at the 4th hole of Stonebridge Golf Course and 2617 Sandstone Drive. The group of about 10 headstones is so well hidden by the surrounding trees that a neighbor admitted to buying his house nine years earlier not knowing the cemetery was across the street. Within the grove of trees, at the bottom of three concrete steps, is a headstone that is majestic in comparison to its humble surroundings. Charles William Krome, (March 3, 1815 - Dec. 5, 1876) and his wife Anna Krome (May 4, 1821 - Nov. 15, 1885) are laid to rest near the prominent headstone and surrounded by other Krome family members. On one side of Charles' and Anna's obelisk headstone is a more humble version, toppled to the ground, the writing on it illegible. The headstone for Charlotte S. Krome (Jan. 1, 1848 - Dec. 21, 1876) is on the other side. Charlotte's headstone is broken from its base, but is lovingly placed against it. Charles and Anna's daughter, Mary, is not buried in the cemetery. Mary met and married Carl William Fred Lange in 1863, according to Ron Meier, a descendent of Lange's. Lange platted Maryville in 1900. The town, incorporated in 1902, was named in honor of Lange's wife. A large house presided over the tiny family cemetery for decades, before being demolished as part of the transformation of Keebler Avenue from a sleepy, winding back road to an artery lined with subdivisions, lined with new homes. The cemetery's address is still Old Keebler Road, according to Madison County records. Osborne Properties developed the Stonebridge subdivision that surrounds Krome Cemetery and are rumored to have planted the trees around the cemetery for fear the small collection of headstones would drive potential home buyers away. If true, the plan appears to have worked. The neighboring homes all sold and the cemetery, owned by Madison County, is well-hidden from even keen-eyed passersby.

The tiny graveyard on Cemetery Road was established in 1812. Members of Charles Postles family have been buried there for centuries, and he says the engraved fencing has been there for as long as anyone can remember. He said he cannot believe someone would take it. "My wife and I were here Friday night, the Fourth of July to visit it and Monday morning it was gone," he said. "A pit in my stomach. It just hurt that somebody would do this, I mean this is heritage of people in the community and it had been maintained and then somebody would be so common to steal the fence from around a cemetery."Only a few metal rods were left behind.

He is worried the fence could already be long gone."It's lost its character because of what was here, it was antique ornate fence," he explained. "It's gone, probably wont be able to replace what was here." "It's just very disrespectful for a few dollars of scrap value," Postles added. "It's terrible."

From: <mailto:WFlem72706@aol.com> WFlem72706@aol.com Subject: (Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2014 19:29:01 -0400 (EDT) BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) - Some Bakersfield neighbors have had a unique glimpse into local history over the years, but it's rattled them up a bit. Some current neighbor still have questions about the area near Terrace Way, which was a historic cemetery for Chinese pioneers to Kern County. A viewer asked Eyewitness News about human bones being found over the years near some of the homes that got built on that location starting in the 1950s and '60s. "We've had remains found on the property right across the street," Dane Nelson told Eyewitness News. He lives on Brookhaven Drive and moved in about 19 years ago. He remembers it was about the next year that a neighbor across the street was planting flowers in front of her house. "She was just putting in rose bushes and dug down probably about a foot or foot and a half," Nelson said. "She found a skull and several bones. A thigh bone and a couple arm bones." Nelson said at that point he pulled out his escrow papers. "I found out that this was actually, my driveway was a portion of the entrance to the cemetery," he said. The neighbors realized their homes were built on a very old cemetery used mostly by Chinese workers who came to Kern County in the 1800s. "They came here by themselves, they didn't really have family to come along with them," Dr. Patrick Leung told Eyewitness News. He's a spokesman with the local Chinese Confucius church and Chinese Benevolent Association. The group now maintains a new cemetery, where many of the remains have been moved. Leung said when the original site off Terrace Way caught the eye of developers, the Chinese community then traded their cemetery site for a new location. He said that was in the early '50s. "They raised money, they exchanged land," Leung explained. "And they started to move the people, relocate the old cemetery to that location." The new cemetery is an area near Historic Union Cemetery. The small plot has a small structure, and plaque with names engraved on it. But, it turned out some bones had been missed. Nelson remembers two other times remains were found on his cul-de-sac. In the early '90s a neighbor was digging for a new septic tank. "They had run across two skulls, and at that point, they stopped digging and called the sheriff's department," Nelson recalled. He said the street was taped off while officers investigated. "They didn't know whether somebody had been murdered or whatever," he said. "Until they realized what they had." What they had were more remains from the historic cemetery. And the third time bones were found on his street, Nelson said a neighbor was replacing a palm tree. "They were taking out the stump and everything, and they found another skeleton and skull," Nelson said. "At that point, that's when they knew that it was part of the Chinese cemetery, and they actually had an archeology group from CSUB come out." He believes the group from California State University, Bakersfield then turned the remains over to the Chinese community. Leung remembers the last time bones were given to his group was around 1993. Those joined the other remains that were found after the homes went in, and the original group that was moved to the new cemetery when development had started. "According to the history on the plaque that we wrote over there, we actually relocated 261 bodies over there," Leung said. He said at that time, only 43 sets of remains could be identified by individual name. Later, descendants identified another 86 names of ancestors believed to have been buried in the original cemetery. Leung said many of the Chinese immigrants to Kern County in the mid-1800s came to work in the rail, oil and mining industries. Community tradition calls for honoring ancestors, even for those not named, and his group continues that tradition. "We still go to the cemetery over there and pay respects to the early pioneers two times a year," Leung said. A group from the Confucius church meets at the small plot, bringing food and flowers. They light incense and clear any weeds. Back at the historic site, homes cover the area. But, Nelson thinks it's important to remember that it was originally a cemetery and part of local history. He had no idea of that when he moved in, but when he found out, "I thought it was really interesting, and nice." And, even though the cemetery was there more than 100 years ago, and bones found decades later, Leung thinks there could be even more bones under the yards and homes. "It's very possible," he said.
