Boston Street Uncovers Long Lost Burial Under Sidewalk
Millions of pedestrians walked School Street in Boston over fifty years unaware a tomb lay beneath. Excavation near King's Chapel revealed a burial vault with skeletons and a coffin plate for Francis Gray who died in 1861 at age 80. Records do not mention the tomb, suggesting relocation of the street placed it beneath the sidewalk.
