OH HOLY GROUND.

They had names once. And as they helped settle part of what is now Lincoln about 140 years ago, they undoubtedly held hopes and dreams for the future.

And they had families who cared about them and wanted them to be remembered.

But all of that is gone now.

Any clue about who they were, how long they lived, what they did is, lost.

Grown over.

Now, they are just skeletons in old wooden caskets in a muddy field. But until last year, no one even remembered they were that.

Until last year, time had all but forgotten the men and women buried in a cemeteryin Jordan Station in the late 1800s.


This is a quote from a Canadian newspaper. It goes on to say that a developer bought the land to build 6 houses.

He stopped wor when he found the remaines, and has decided to build 5 houses and make a properly designated cemetery.

Why are things so different in other countries. Are we not all entitled to a peaceful afterlife.


                                Thankyou for reading this.

but with the news yesterday that the UK population in going to increase by millions I believe that more and more will disappear to make way for housing etc.

Well i hope they all get haunted while living there
The problem with our Government is  they bow down to the non English and grant their every wish(or they might get accused of being a racist),while ignoring the wishes of their own people. Plus Councils all over The U.K put cars before people,they need more space lets make more roads.Lets dig a cemetery up,it has to stop NOW .

Lynn have you emailed the council for a list of names?
(for the graves that are to be moved)


it was my understanding that once upon a time graves were held for a certain period of time i.e you buy the lease for say 99 years and then it gets sold  again after the lease has expired and then someone else buys the land (another grieveing relative i mean and not a council going to make roads) so someone else is buried there.

Hi Toni,

I e-mailed them again on Tuesday 23 Oct. This time i didn't even get a reply that it would be answered within three days. The way it looks to me is, that if they don't answer then they won't have to tell me anything.

Can anyone think of anything else?
