James Davis, Alabama Man, Fights To Keep Remains Of Wife Buried In Front Yard

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

    I've buried 3 of my dogs in my back yard, is that suddenly not against the law? My land, my law.
