STEVENSON, Ala. -- James Davis is fighting to keep the remains of his
late wife right where he dug her grave: In the front yard of his home,
just a few feet from the porch.
Davis said he was only abiding by Patsy Ruth Davis' wishes when he
buried her outside their log home in 2009, yet the city sued to move the
body elsewhere. A county judge ordered Davis to disinter his wife, but
the ruling is on hold as the Alabama Civil Court of Appeals considers
his challenge.
Davis, 73, said he never expected such a fight.

I thought a persons' dying wish carried some weight.
A deathbed confession certainly does, so why not her wish?
Leave the old man and his deceased wife alone for God's sake.
Mr. Davis should not have to fight for his dead wife. This is still America and the grave is well kept. Old
guys like this are tough
I've buried 3 of my dogs in my back yard, is that suddenly not against the law? My land, my law.
