Our Cemetery Committee members went to Bethesda Church in Russellville today to find unmarked graves. They had gone on previous day and discovered over 250. Today they discovered another 250 in the older part of the cemetery. Art Bohanan and Michele Beam Disney met with folks from the area.
The church was a hospital during the civil war. So many we found are believed to be soldiers from that time. Art went in the church where there where dark stain flooring his ball went while. When he placed it in floorboards that had been recently replaced no reaction. Also out side windows that had been reported that they ditched the amputated limbs they found very small graves indicated limbs. On the others side outside and lined up with the windows the ball also reacted wildly on the ground. In between the windows no reactions. We believe they threw out the bloody water as they cleaned the floors
We also had the honor presenting the 50th Anniversary Vietnam Welcome Home Commemorative Pin to Esco Jarnagin.
It was a great Day. Thank you Art and Michelle
