A BIBB COUNTY JUDGE HAS ORDERED A FAMILY TO MOVE GRAVES

These are civil war-era gravesites. Superior Court Judge Tilman E "Tripp" 111 gave the family until January 14th to remove the graves. Joseph Follendores and two sons buried there, lived between 1818-1882. The Follendores had a 600 acre produce farm. They were German immigrants.

Moon Family Properties is developing a 1,000 acre residential and commercial site on the former farm. The court will remove the bodies on January 15th, if the family doesn't before that time.

Moon Family Properties will pay the cost of moving the graves and the grave markers. Genealogists and Civil War buffs are very disturbed by this.
