oct 25, 1906 - Lyda Conley Quote

Description:

October 25. KC Times quotes: Miss Lyda Conley, " In this cemetery are buried one-hundred of our ancestors...why should we not be proud of our ancestors and protect their graves? We shall do it, and woe be to the man that first attempts to steal a body. We are part owners of the ground and have the right under the law to keep off trespassers, the right a man has to shoot a burglar who enters his home." (WNK)
