Their graves are full of 19th century pioneers who have been buried without names, some only with numbers, or toemstones marked unknown--without dignity, stigmatized by ignorance. A fifteen-state effort, including Texas, has been snowballing to remove this shameful status. Media coverage has been extensive and several bills are making it through the state and national government to correct this problem. Information on this is extensive.
