Tombstones Seized For Unpaid Muskegon Cemetery Charges
Muskegon officials began removing headstones from graves where the $5 yearly upkeep has not been paid for nine years. Cemetery Superintendent B T Sullivan says eventually abandoned bodies will be moved to a potter's field and graves resold, though not for about two years due to available gravesites. Over 100 stones removed, with more than 2,000 other repossessable graves among 44,000 city plots. Graves date from 1864 to 1927, often with no living relatives in the area.
