Three Young Boys Discover Bones
Raymond Fleming, 10, 320 S. Prospect St., Albert Bevier, 12, and Harold Bevier, 13, both of 321 S. Prospect St., are in possession of some human bones today. Sunday afternoon as they were playing near the river bed south of the Sewage Disposal Plant the boys found the bones.
Police were notified and stopped all chances of rumor about murder or other violent death by telling the youths that approximately 20 years ago investigation in that spot, after other bones had been discovered, brought out that the spot had been used as a burying ground.
The grave uncovered by the boys was undoubtedly one of the many that had been situated there in past years.
