Cemetery in front yard sparks anger among relatives
In Dewar Iowa the Buehler family built a house on land once a cemetery. Relatives of those buried fear desecration as 14 to 30 bodies reportedly remain. They urge the county to reclaim and restore cemetery status, while the couple proposes access, a marker, and no excavation. County supervisors delay a decision for at least a month.
