Garfield Tomb Breakin

[LincolnToddFan]

The cemetery in which my mother, grandmother and several other family members are buried(Green Lawn Cemetery, Columbus Ohio) predates the Civil War. It has quite a few famous people including James Thurber and Ohio governor/Lincoln Cabinet member William Dennison buried there, as well as a special section devoted to scores of Union dead.

Every year, usually around Halloween, punks make it a point to sneak in during the night and desecrate the fragile, decaying Civil War tombstones. A few have been so badly damaged that they have had to be replaced.

I will never ever understand it, even if I live a hundred years.
