A bulldozer, contracted to Vinland Energy of London, Kentucky, plowed through a family cemetery last week near Fourmile, in southeastern Kentucky. The bulldozer shoved graves, both marked and unmarked, over a hill.
"We have never went through anything like this. We're shocked," said Dorothy Lingar, as she recalled walking through the family cemetery as a child. "That's our history, our flesh and blood, and we are upset. These were good people and they don't deserve to be treated this way."

The incident happened Wednesday, as the bulldozer cleared land for a Vinland project in the area. Vinland Energy Vice President of Operations Scott Gilbert told the Middlesboro Daily News the company is aware of what happened at the cemetery.
