Yes, this is the south but having unmarked graves is not a "south" thing. Most places throughout history did not have stone to mark graves and wood only lasts a short while. Many died on journeys or were murdered and their bodies hidden through the centuries. Many died after anyone who had ever cared for them had already died and nobody bothered to do more than bury them to avoid the health hazard, if that much. Even the graves which were marked for a while, children or vandals decided to destroy or steal the markers. The world is covered with unmarked graves. David for truth REGARDING:

There are numerous "unmarked" graves around the area, just ask any relative of yours who's on up in their years. Yeah this is the south.

With it being that old is there any possibility that it could be a plague gravesite? I always wonder about that when ever I hear about old graves being dug up.

Maybe they could survey some of these old cemeteries as a training exercise sometime and re-mark some of the old burials. That might help prevent this sort of thing from happening.

Wed, 08 May 2013 14:09:36 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=137867#comment-203519 There are quite a number of unmarked graves everywhere. Even in big cemeteries there are outlines of bricks or stones to mark a spot and no headstone. Many graves had wooden headstones telling who was buried and those disappear over time as did the casket in this case. Years ago many people were buried on family property and there were no concrete vaults back then. Seems this is a case as the story reported of an accidental unearthing of an old burial site. Rest in Peace. There are quite a number of unmarked graves everywhere. Even in big cemeteries there are outlines of bricks or stones to mark a spot and no headstone.
