I know the Harrowgate plaza on Tioga Street at H was a cemetery before it became the Acme, now ghetto mart. My grandmother's parents and some of her other family members were buried there. They were given no choice in the early 60's when the site was being readied for construction. My grandmother was told the bodies would be moved to a cemetery in Frazer. It was horrible for her family because they didn't have a lot of money and no way to go to Frazer to see her parents. She first time she ever got there was when she was buried with them in 2000.
We've always wondered how many bodies are under that asphalt.
