A headstone leads deputy to old grave

Armed with this information, Kilpatrick searched the old cemetery until he found a place near an old tree with bases for two small tombstones - and discovered pieces of shattered stone.

At the foot of a tree Kilpatrick knelt down and placed the marble headstone against the oak.

"I don't have any doubt this is where it belongs," he said.

Good Job!!

on another not when my grandfather bought the house we live in now there was a headstone in the yard. he bought it around 1963 when my grandmother discovered the stone in the yard she called the city police who arrived and took it away...i imagine someone is buried in my yard and that the tombstone just wasnt misplaced

I love visiting and discovering old graveyards around north Georgia. For the life of me, I cannot understand why someone would remove or damage a headstone like that.

Good job, Lieutenant!

Some of the comments are awesome. One commenter somehow comes to the conclusion that a warning in the paper is entrapment. :screwy:

Lt. Kilpatrick did a great job getting help and using our resources to track down where that headstone belongs.
David is very thorough and does a great job for me and the citizens in Oconee.

As far as the speeding article goes.....I 'spect we will still write a double handful of tickets, even after posting it in the newspaper,
our Facebook page, and putting up mobile signs warning drivers.

Lt. Kilpatrick works for the Oconee County Sheriff's OFFICE. We are not a department of anything.

I wasn't being serious with my comment. I applaud Kilpatrick's dedication.

I miss living in Oconee County. Best Sheriff's office in Georgia, if I do say so.

Do you want to be a Department? Obama has stimulus money for shovel ready projects like that.

Kiddn' - I made the change
