La Salette

Illinois · USA · Cemetery

Retired priests lived in the old college dormitories, and when they died they were buried on the property. The graves were supposedly moved later.

This site at Georgetown, Illinois was a college before it was a retreat house.

After the college, retired priests moved into the old dormitories, and when they died they were buried on the property.

The graves were supposedly moved afterwards.

That word supposedly is doing a great deal of work and it is the reason this entry exists. Nobody walking the grounds today is quite sure whether the men buried there are still there, and the word people use when they talk about it is the word the original account chose.

Footsteps are heard on the property with nobody there.

Cemetery relocations at religious institutions happen when land is sold or use changes, and the paperwork is often thinner than anybody expects.

The property is private.
