In view of Michael Henline's reports online of cemetery listings, conditions and locations in Webster County.... He said there was a farmer who plowed under and had tombstones removed from his property so he could plant it.....there are gravesites that were destroyed by the railroad in accidents, not once but twice at the same site....... does anyone here know if there is a law that protects gravesites at all in West Virginia. Michael stated that he thought they were owned by the person who owned the land. Since land ownership changes....are not gravesites protected against being vandalized or destroyed. Does anyone know if there is any action being taken in West Virginia to protect future damage and destruction to gravesites and tombstones. More than history is being destroyed here. Does anyone have any idea if this has been addressed by the West Virginia legislature in the past....or if anyone even cares except we, who are doing family history studies and trying to locate sites of our ancestory......... how about some feedback on this subject ........anyone have any suggestions what we may do to help this cause...... joann
