Dozer Digs Deep Skeletons Unearthed in Victoria
Skeletons of 24 humans, 16 adults and 8 children, were uncovered by E. J. Gerdes workers on a torn down downtown building site in Victoria. Three rows of graves lay three feet deep with heads eastward and no markers. University of Texas anthropology professor Dr. T. N. Campbell attributes the remains to local Indians from before the city’s founding 125 years ago.
