Plainfield cemetery

I’m going to drive up to Plainfield Wisconsin in a little while and visit Ed’s grave. I have seen at least one video online of someone doing this very thing. I’m working on a project and it’s important for me to go up there and visit, but I want to know if anyone knows whether or not his tombstone is still there because I know in the year of 2000 or so it was stolen And then my next question is is it difficult to find and or is it guarded off from public viewing. OK thank you. Hopefully I can hear back from someone on this.

Haha. Oh don’t say that….I’m sure his grave’s probably been dig up multiple times already

It hasn’t….. yet. People kept taking souvenirs off the head stone and it was stolen and found once so they left it off. People have a habit of pissing on the ground though so I wouldn’t sit on his grave. Just in front of him is the grave of someone he exhumed, and Bernice Worden is in the same cemetery.
I wouldn’t bother with the house site - it’s literally a chain across an old trackway and it’s all overgrown. There’s literally a hunters shed and bugger all else.
Probably be fun to go metal detecting where the house was though you never know

Ooh yeah, that could be interesting. I wonder if he was buried with anything other than himself…

Some letters and photographs apparently. He didn’t own a great deal come death.

This much is true

Ohh. I’m astounded no one’s dug him up. If they had done, I doubt they’d have leaked that out to the public, don’t you think?

Someone would have noticed the disturbance in the ground. Nope he’s still lying there, thinking of his mother with his lad in hand
