http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/bon...-263479691.html Bones found in Milwaukee may be from old cemetery By Ashley Luthern of the Journal Sentinel June 17, 2014 Bones uncovered Monday during a construction project on Milwaukee's north side were found at the scene of an old cemetery, records show. Milwaukee police are working with the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office to determine whether the bones were part of a known burial site in the area, Lt. Mark Stanmeyer said Tuesday. The investigation is ongoing, he said. Police were called to the lot in the 1200 block of N. 13th St. about 5 p.m. Monday when construction crews unearthed the bones believed to be human remains. A Milwaukee city directory from 1857-'58 listed the location of Gruenhagen's Cemetery, used for German Protestant burials, as Chestnut St. — now named W. Juneau Ave. — between 12th and 14th streets, according to a genealogy website for Milwaukee County. It's roughly the same location as where the bones were found. The genealogy website also made reference to a Milwaukee Daily Sentinel article from April 30, 1874, that reported that the Milwaukee Common Council ordered 13th St. be extended through Gruenhagen's Cemetery and that lot owners had to remove remains within 30 days. |
