Tombs, ME 12 00002 - _________?

I was told by a local guy that these were the tombs

of the unidentified bodies, presumably from the

cemetery. Towards the end of this line are a group

that represent flood victims?

 

Tombs are now laying on their sides, are open,

broken, or grave stones have been left in disarray.

 

Many tombs have been uprooted from their

given locations. This cemetery in particular was

in upheaval due to the mississippi river across the

street, the storm surge, flood waters from the broken

levee....etc. There were many reports of tombs, coffins,

and the dead all floating in the flood water.
