Bones and secrets haunt Avondale family tale
In Avondale a long buried mystery centers on the bones found in a farm granary. Daniel Lockard refused to claim remains of his kin, leaving the boxes to decay untended from 1869 to 1897. William Lockard later faced a torn memory as he wrestled with his father’s instructions and civil orders to inter the bones. The family secrets, tied to Andrew and Daniel, vanish with them, leaving questions that may never be answered.
