Dawson mayor's moving of grave markers upsets residents
Dawson, Ga.--Mayor Robert Albritten wanted to "tidy up" Cedar Hills
Cemetery, but his order to move some grave markers caused an uproar among
residents. The cemetery contains graves dating as far back as 1861.

Approximately 100 grave markers were moved last week so that they formed
straight rows.
