Graveyard or burial sites

[tpack]

Are there any old burial sites on your lease? Our landowner was telling me about an old burial site on our lease a few years ago that was from early settlers passing through back in the day. The land has been in his family since the early, early 1900`s. Well over 100 years. The grave site is among some old live oak trees that are on some slightly elevated ground. He said that hogs rooting the headstones over the years has made it hard to find them any longer. I walk within 50' of it every time I hunt but never think about it. I hope I don`t think about it when it`s dark . I have looked but was unable to identify anything that looked like a marker of any kind.

We have a pet cemetery on our place, but that's about it.

I've been told that our lease was on the edge of the potato field but they had to climb the trees on our lease to recover the remains. There is a private road between what was the field and our lease. Don't know when it was built. At the intersection there is a house. The house was for the foreman or a worker, they had a wife and a daughter. the story goes after the crash that the litle girl was playing outside and the mother as inside and she heard her daughter talking to to someone. The mother looked outside and didn't see anyone with her daughter. The mother just thought it was her daughters imaginary play mate. sporadically over the next year or so the mother would her her daughter talking to this person. the story goes on to say that the Father nad Mother of the girl asked her about who the person was she was talking to. The daughter told her parents that it was a little girl from Houston and told her parents the little girls name. They checked the name of the accident victims and the little girls name was on the Flight Record.
I don't know how true this is or isn't.

The other lease members have been on it longer than I have. They do say they've had unexplained encounters and the cameras act up frequently. Like new batteries only lasting 1 week and having 20 pics on the SD Card and the later pics being fuzzy and distorted kinda like being underwater.

Holy buckets. Sounds true enough for me. I don't be where any burial sites be. My grandma grew up in Natoma, Kansas. I remember going to the farm where she grew up and we walked a little ways past an old structure and she pointed out mounds of rocks. She said it was an Indian burial site. She said not to ever play around anything like that. She didn't have to tell me twice. Dually noted.

I don't fool around with none of that business.

There’s an old family cemetery roughly 40 yards from my parent’s house on the neighbor’s property. It’s the obvious one and the only one we know about.

That said, there’s been a lot of points of different size found by a neighbor while maintaining the ingress/egress easement leading through my parent’s place and down the their land.

With the topography of my parent’s place, along with the fact there’s a spring fed creek that has never run dry since they bought it, I can pretty much guarantee that there’s some burial sites on the place.

Two leases had family plots. Grew up on land that had unmarked cemetery full of headstones.

never thought about them except to stay away out of respect

Not really worried about anything when I’m hunting either dead or alive.

Even if you don’t have any “marked” graves, there’s an extremely high chance there’s one there.

There have been humans in North America for tens of thousands of years!

Kinda what I was thinking. Nothing marked where I hunt but who knows what’s out here.

Yes. There is a cemetery on some of the ground I hunt here in Iowa. Half of the cemetery is a family cemetery and the other half is public burial. Some of the headstones have late 1700 birthdates. There are a lot of infants and young children buried there. The most recent burial was in 1961.

There is a cemetery on our lease that goes back to the civil war. If you don't know where it is you would never find it without just stumbling onto it.

We have a family cemetery on our place. I have a tree stand in one of the Oak trees on the cemetery fence line.

The dead see you walking over their grave and probable aren't very happy about it. I'd keep my head on a swivel if I were you. You don't want one of those ghost to get you.

We had a cemetery on the place I hunted while in high school. My best friend and I took our girl friends out calling one night and were calling about 30' from the cemetery. Right after the very first call a fox barked in the cemetery. My buddie's girl ran to the right but my girl, who didn't weigh more than a hundred #s, turned and knocked me down, running over me headed for the truck. I had a foot print on my shirt and a dusty foot print right on my face. Man was I lucky she didn't weigh as much as my buddie's girl did.

Growing up, my grandparents had a few piles of rocks in the edge of the woods that were referred to as Indian graves.
I suspect it was just the iron ore rocks that were gathered out of the field and piled there but never poked around to find out.

Pretty sure the country is littered with unmarked graves of Native Americans and early settlers

I owned two different properties that had old cemeteries just over the fence. One only had a half dozen graves, but the other one had probably fifteen or more. The oldest headstone I was able to read was 1836. If you hadn’t known they were there you would have had a hard time finding them. The latter was very close to the Kickapoo Massacre site, but I don’t know if any of the graves were related.
