I have a cousin in MS, that was dirt poor until they discovered gas on land that his grandfather sold but had kept the mineral rights. Tommy got Beverly Hillbilly rich real fast and bought a thousand acre soybean farm. In the middle of one of the fields was a stand of scrubby trees and brush and he decided to remove it to make plowing easier. He found an old abandoned family cemetary there. Rather than view it as a negative, he cleared the trees and restored the stones and fence around it. He saw it as one more blessing to have something to give back.

God bless that soybean farmer! I have many ancestors buried in Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. I hope no one tries to desecrate their burial grounds.

My own grave site has a fantastic view of Mt. Hood. I certainly hope moving this Vwemonr graveyard does not become a precedent!
