(Richmond, IN)--Some of the very first elements of construction on the new US 27 overpass over Richmond’s Depot District hit a major snag.  Several weeks ago, crews digging to move a gas line dug up human remains.  The remains were found in a grassy area at the northern end of the overpass.  One city official said that the area was cordoned off.  On morning, there was a blue tarp covering an area where digging had begun, although it has not clear that that is where the remains were found.  That entire area was once a cemetery.  It was called Friends Graveyard and was adjacent to the former site of the Friends Meeting House.  That’s an area that would later become Barker’s Fireplace Shop.  The bodies in the cemetery were moved in the 1950’s when the overpass that exists today was built.  There’s no word yet from INDOT on whether the discovery will delay the project.
