A few days after I cataloged Worden Cemetery and put it on line a man emailed me and said a tombstone belonging to one of the resident’s of the cemetery was in an Insurance building in Ann Arbor. Huh? He didn't know how or why it was there but said the name and dates were the same on the tombstone.(I had also used the cemetery records not just the stones) I called the company and made arrangements to go in and take pictures. They had found the tombstone in the attic of the build when they bought it. It was being used as a weight for old newspaper (the building had been a newspaper office)
After due process I contacted the cemetery committee (I knew the people in charge) but they wanted NOTHING to do with that old tombstone, which answered a question I hadn’t asked, obviously others had contacted them about it.
