The stone was found in the kitchen of the house
The stone was found last August in the kitchen of a home in Estate Auction. The family used it without realizing it was the stone used in the cemetery. The information came out after a person was hired to store the household items. He found the stone in the house while moving the goods to a safe place without any damage. The suspicion that was felt when the stone was examined led to the investigation and the new discovery.
Authorities said the investigation should continue
‘It is clear that the marble stone is from the tomb,’ said Loretta S. Stansway, president of the Friends of Lansing Historic Cemeteries. We need to find out in whose grave it was used. Efforts are on to find the relatives of the deceased. This quest can sometimes take a long time. Once they find their living relatives, they can find out how the stone got to this house. We need to know if the stone came home with their permission, “Stansway said.
The family knows nothing
He informed Friends of Lancing Historical Cemeteries that the stone found in the house was obsolete. It is doubtful whether the stone was used in the cemetery. Authorities gathered information and launched an investigation. Detailed examination revealed that the marble stone was used in the cemetery. The family could not explain where the stone came from or who brought it home. But the family could not say when the stone was brought home.
The family said the stone was used in the kitchen
The family said the stone had been used for years in the home kitchen. The stone was mainly used to make a special kind of ‘fudge’ candy which is made by mixing milk and butter. A woman in the family said the stone was used in the kitchen because it needed a thick and firm plate to make fudge. The family said they did not know more about the stone. Meanwhile, authorities say the stone, which went missing 146 years ago, has been found.
