Vandalism
Another tale concerning Harrison's grave claimed that Grancer had a large sum of gold buried with him and still others claimed that he buried gold near the old dance hall. Vandals solved the mystery of the gold in his tomb in 1964 when they blew it open with dynamite. There was no gold and they succeeded only in destroying the tomb and scattering Harrison's skeletal remains.
The Harrison Cemetery along with Harrison's Grave was again vandalized on July 30, 2010. Approximately 50 headstones were overturned.

Famous quotes containing the word vandalism:
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
