Hello all,

As there are three references in the SCM to the name Holloway (though
none in Missouri), I thought I ought to pass this on to you, just in
case. I got it from the NYC-Roots list:

This was in Tues, 8 May, Springfield MO News Leader, p. 5B:
>
>Discovery of cemetery halts roadwork--Associated Press-Kansas City--
>
>Construction of a new highway in south Kansas City has been halted
>by the discovery of a small cemetery dating back to the Civil War era.
>State officials are anxious to find any descendants of the Holloway
>family who are bured in the cemetery. If the heirs can't be found, the
>state will have to get court permission to move the nine graves in the
>plot, in order to finish a new Missouri 150.
>
>Construction workers recently unearthed a marble headstone, dating
>from 1858, while moving a large section of water pipe.
>
>Archaeologists later found another headstone and evidence of seven
>other graves. The site has not been disturbed further.
> --------
>Please pass this on to other lists.
