Actually, I don't think it's the bushel or so of soybeans that a cemetery in a field might produce. Seems to be all the trouble a farmer has to go through to run the tractor around the gravestones. Much easier, you know, to plow in a straight line. Actually, mules didn't seem to like plowing around cemeteries, either. My great great grandparents' graveyard was plowed over about 1915. I also know of one cemetery where the stones were drug down the hill into the river swamp. <<This week I surveyed this cemetery looking for relatives and to put it on the Brunswick Genweb site. To my dismay there were only 5 stones left.>> ==Jo== (Jo Church Dickerson)
