Hello,

        My family has recently come upon "The Horn Burying Place" in 

Wheelock (read from a seemingly undisturbed and original stone which 

is placed outside the fence).  There is obviously work being done to 

restore this cemetery.  The new board fence is designed without a 

gate ~ but there is an opening where the fence extends in on both 

sides; it seems sort of "inviting" to me, but we would love to know 

more about this style and any other history of this cemetery.  There 

are a number of unmarked graves.  Where do we find out more

information?

 

THANK YOU!

Hello,

 

    I am a journalist doing a piece for Northern Woodlands Magazine.

My story focuses upon a landowner's obligations, if any, to the dead

in "woodland cemeteries." Can someone buying a woodlot containing an

old cemetery simply bulldoze it? I'm having trouble finding an answer

to this question.

    Also, I need to learn if a landowner can prevent people from

visiting their kin in a woodland cemetery where the land is posted.

 

Any assistance that anyone can give me is greatly appreciated.

Perhaps my article can, in the end, be of some slight help to the

cause of protecting old cemeteries.

 

Sincerely,

Tom Seymour
