BAY CITY, Mich., Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Officials in a Michigan county are trying to locate the final resting place of a tombstone that has been in their found property room for more than 15 years.
Sgt. James Chlebowski of the Bay County Sheriff's department said the tombstone of a 10-year-old girl who died in 1915 was found near the banks of the Kawkawlin River in 1990, the Bay City Times reports.
After searching county records police found no one by the name of Mary Ann Bontrager or her parents John and Mary.
So the tombstone has sat in the lost and found room of the Third Street Law Enforcement Center in Bay City, Mich., ever since.
Chlebowski said they are trying to locate what cemetery it came from to return it.
