PENNSYLVANIA BONES MAY BE 19th Century IRISH IMMIGRANTS WHO DIED

Quote: "Historians at Immaculata University have known for years about the 57 immigrants who died in August 1832 but could not find the grave. Human bones discovered last week near the suburban Philadelphia university may at last reveal their final resting place — and possibly allow researchers to identify the remains and repatriate them....

"We feel a kinship with these men," said Immaculata history professor William Watson. "Righting an injustice has led us to this point."

Imagine leaving Ireland behind, immigrating to the United States to help build the rail road, and dying of cholera before you could... NOW THE GRAVE HAS BEEN FOUND !
