A school board member received a tip from a citizen last month suggesting there could be a cemetery on the school's property based on historical data. The data showed that the cemetery could be approximately one acre in size.
The geophysical technicians eventually found"clear evidence of burials" in the area. A second area, in the northeastern part of the campus, was also scanned but did not show signs of any burials. The cemetery is believed to contain more than 250 graves. The school may not be able to identify all of the graves as some may have decayed too much to be detected by radar, and it's possible others could have been moved to another location. In addition, records show as many as 77 of the people buried in the cemetery were infants or young children, whose coffins would be difficult to find because of their size. Additional graves may also exist under the agricultural building.
They had title companies and property maps. Plus, someone’s grandma in town knew stories from her grandma like I did. I bet it was just the powers that be never even thought to ask. It was 60 years ago. Now they know. Time to make it right.
“They're HEEERRREEE!!!” 👻
