Notice of Application for the Archaeological Removal of Human Remains:
The Danville Industrial Development Authority (IDA) hereby notifies the public of its intent to apply for permits to allow the archaeological recovery and reburial of interments located within the Fearn Burying Ground in the City of Danville on IDA owned property. The cemetery is located north of Gypsum Road near Goodyear Boulevard on the Coleman Property, and is unmarked.
The IDA intends to have the graves excavated by professional archaeologists. As part of this process, it is hoped that physical characteristics such as height, physical condition, diet, and other in- formation that may assist in identification of the individuals interred in the Burying Ground may be obtained. Upon completion of the study, the remains will be respect- fully reburied in Highland Burial Park located within the City limits of Danville.
Individuals related to the Fearn family, as well as members of the public with an interest in these proceedings, members buried there and those who wish to be involved may contact the individuals listed below.
The public has the right to request a meeting with the IDA and the project archaeologist in order to express their views of this pro- posed relocation. Anyone who wishes to review a complete copy of the application for the archaeological removal of human remains may do so at either address listed below. The deadline for comments is Friday, February 24, 2012.
