Ernie... I hadn't ever heard that before. What a concept. Along the upper Mississippi, during flood times, many old and unknown burials have been washed away. At one point, the bank along a portion of the Mississippi River was honeycombed with portions of caskets protruding. Quite a sobering sight. Then there are the various practices of the American Indian tribes, from elevating their dead on a wooden structure to let the corpse decay, to merely piling stones over the dead, to the actual Indian mounds of days gone by, etc. ---------------------- From: [email protected]
