STEVENSON, Ala. (AP) -- James Davis is fighting to keep the remains of his late wife right where he dug her grave: In the front yard of his home, just a few feet from the porch.
Davis said he was only abiding by Patsy Ruth Davis' wishes when he buried her outside their log home in 2009, yet the city sued to move the body elsewhere.

Of the 4 dogs I had as a kid growing up I know 1 is buried in a field on land still owned by some of my family and the other is buried just outside her yard in a field close to the house. Both died 35 and 25 years ago, respectively.
Finding human bones, inside a metal coffin, placed inside a concrete vault. That's some digging to plant a tree. I guess somebody stupid enough to dig through all that would likely call the police to investigate the bones.
That's a Captain Obvious FAIL!
Messed that up. Of four dogs, I know of where 2 are buried and the “her” is my mother. Brain blip there for a minute!
“Yeah, right . . . until a future property owner goes to plant a tree, and discovers human bones. And you pay for the cops to investigate it.”
The future property owner’s problem, not that of the present owner, and not that of the government. You don’t want a grave on the land, don’t buy it. And the cops are going to get paid the same if they are investigating anything or not.
Jesus said his Father had many mansions, hope he has a few farms, I don’t want a mansion, too much work... gg
