7: Potter's Field

Maple Hill Cemetery in Charlotte, MI has a mystery.  There are 37 unmarked graves buried SOMEWHERE inside its gates.  This is the story of how these resting places were discovered on paper and one man's efforts to find them.  Bonus Material: all you wanted to know about decomposition, cadaver dogs and my favorite park as a child that was once a cemetery.

CALL TO ACTION: Please, contact me on the Where They Stood Facebook page or contact the Maple Hill Cemetery in Charlotte, MI if you can help with a Ground Penetrating Radar machine or a cadaver dog.  Please, help!
