Stronghurst Graphic, Sept. 14, 1916
FOOTE CEMETERY EXHUMED: Last week Frank Murphy of Stronghurst exhumed the remains of five person buried in the old Foote family graveyard on the farm now owned by Mrs. Sarah Y.Evans, about three miles southwest of Stronghurst and removed them to the cemetery in town where they were reinterred in the lot in which the remains of Mrs. Margaret Foote were laid to rest on August 30th.
The remains removed were those of B.F.Foote, his first two wives, his daughter Miranda and Mr. and Mrs. John Burditt, the parents of Mrs. Margaret Foote. The remains of the first two women had been interred for 54 and 55 years respectively and those of Miranda Foote, the last one to be buried in the family burying ground about 18 years ago. Nothing but the skeletons of any of the bodies remained and these seemed to be all in about the same state of preservation.
