“You moved the cemetery, but you left the bodies, didn’t you? You son of a b*tch, you left the bodies and you only moved the head stones. You only moved the head stones!”
Love that movie.
Previous land development)s) on this property might make the subject moot. In 1913 the property was used to construct the 19,963 seat Federal Park for the new Federal League Hoosiers in the short lived 3rd major baseball league. The Indianapolis Indians bid to buy the empty stadium in 1916 was outdone by the Terre Haute Interurban Traction Company. It lasted until through the 20’s. That’s when Diamond Chain built their factories on the property. FYI: City leaders were well aware that there might be existing burials on the property. Even then, there wasn’t much of concern. Like it or not, that’s what happened. If there were remains burials, they likely were destroyed over a hundred years ago.
Good historical overview!
Although the first metal casket appeared in the US in 1848, it would be another 100 years later when casket makers changed and the market shifted from wood to metal. Thus it is most likely the deceased who were interred on that site were buried in wood coffins, leaving the remains unprotected from Mother Nature’s elements.
Just get it situated and get that development Done.
To be honest, at this point the only thing that can be done is what’s already been mentioned. If any remains are found then you deal with it with respect and care. Other than that the city and Keystone group said they would even give some sort of memorial and commemorating the site. That’s about all you can ask for realistically. I get it that some people want more to be done and for Keystone group to set aside money from the profits made from the stadium but that’s subjective and there’s no law holding the company to that request. It will be almost impossible to truly do a proper job at finding any remains. The best thing is to let the construction work happen and if any remains turn up then deal with it accordingly.
