Sometimes families will not use headstones in case they attract ghoulish types, which may be the case with outlandish stories such as this. You would think later generations would have placed some kind of simple marker though. My family is living in various countries of the World so I would probably never get to visit grandparents graves. I know where one is in the same country as I, but it is on the other side of the country. My father spent money to have his father’s grave marked with a permanent headstone etc. Grandfather had died young, but with four children and one stepchild to support his widow took them back home to her original country. She had already lost her original husband and one brother in France during WW1, before she had married grandfather, then lost a daughter while he had served in India. Her husband had a cross and a marker on his grave but time had almost obliterated these before my father had travelled there in his later years. He renewed the lease on the grave and hoped we would attend to any future needs there. I am yet to travel to that state and see if grandfather’s grave needs any attention. I do visit my father’s grave as it is close to home.

A divorce would have cost him some money to obtain, if he got away with murder, he came out ahead with her inherited land, money, and life insurance policy. It's proof there is nothing new under the sun, for sure.

It's a common practice, especially in Europe and other places where burial space is limited. It's not just a Catholic practice. I've seen bones dug up in cases where the payment wasn't made by the specified date. It puzzles me that the relatives of any deceased wouldn't make arrangements to pay for a grave after such a long time.

There is a cemetery in Hugo, OK called the Mount Olivet Cemetery. It is the burial site for circus performers, Freckles Brown and the famous Lane Frost, the bull rider.

Thank you, it’s been on my list for a long time I hope to get there someday

Why didn’t her brother use the insurance money for her burial & headstone? Doesn’t say much for him.

Loved your story Ron. Lee Hutt

I took it that way too😂

awesome :D me either

I ain’t missing it

good luck. I went to the where the archdiocese records are kept for St. Boniface, and found her, unmarked, sadly, as I narrated. there is no way to find her location in Section X, but maybe you have some magic! 👍😃 the records are kept at Cavalry cemetery in Evanston, I did some livestreams and episodes there.
