Ohio Cemetery Vandals Desecrate Wright Brothers Burial Site

Even more cemetery damage news: vandals have damaged 62 grave sites in a Dayton, Ohio, cemetery, including the gravesites for the Wright brothers, and poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. Damage is estimated at $25,000.

The private Woodland Cemetery also includes the graves of Ohio Governor James Cox and humorist Erma Bombeck, although their burial sites apparently were not harmed.

My thanks to W David Samuelsen for letting me know this sad news.
