Caption/Description

#Unknown 59 Baby awaits resurrection in its new grave. Hundreds of graves were transferred from the old cemetery and reburied at a site on higher ground. The old cemetery would soon be under water when the area was used as a 5,000 acre lake to cool various parts of the Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant being built near Burlington, Kansas.
