Who's buried in Lenn's tomb?
Blogger Lisa Burks asks "who's in Mr. Lenn's Grand View grave?"
That is the question behind the latest mystery surrounding the creepy story at Grand View Memorial Park, which has apparently lost track of who's buried where, at the century-plus old Glendale cemetery. The story reads like a Sherlock Holmes novel, with an attorney speculating he's solved the mystery of who's buried in John Lenn's grave.
Burks writes ...
After two recently successful court-ordered interments at the little cemetery with big problems, a third was cancelled this week when an apparent occupant was discovered in what should have been an unused grave.
Paul Ayers, a lawyer for the family of Lenn, speculates, "In 1989, Wayne Warrington was buried in Grave 69. In 1999, Ms. Howard sold Mr. Lenn then empty Grave 68, but did not update her records to memorialize the sale. In 2002 when Patricia Warrington died Ms. Howard sold the family what she thought was an available grave next to Wayne Warrington. In my opinion the most likely decedent now in Grave 68 is Patricia Warrington."
