[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 360620, member: 6007"] Well we know what those sink holes are now. We had a small grave that we kept fenced off from the cattle when we were in Saskatchewan - never did find out who it was -the date was the only thing we could read and it was 185X? I wrote it into the sales contract that that fence had to stay - if found to be otherwise it would result in legal action. I know we never would do that, but it seemed the right thing to do. Oldest daughter was by there about a month ago and said they had it kept up real nice. The place I live on now has a reported grave yard - the old gentleman down the road remembers coming to a burial here when he was about 6 years old. He is now over 90. He does not remember just where it is - but remembers he was near the big pond in the back. I suspect it is in the maple forest we have but he is too old to walk there and show me. Apparently she died in the winter and they kept her and the coffin in the summer kitchen until the ground thawed. He said it used to scare him to come over to the house. If we ever find it we will clean it up and keep grass and weeds under control - it was a hard life in those days and you have to respect them for making it without all of the conveniences of today. For a small fee you can go to land titles and pull all the old records - you might find it very interesting - we did and managed to find all of the old owners - including the very first. The first family was given the land by the government for miitary service - I believe in India. This farm was first settled in 1806. Just over 200 years ago. Hope you manage to fix things up a bit on your own personal graveyard. Amelia would probably appreciate it. Bez> [/QUOTE]
