Several unmarked gravestones found buried in Downriver backyard

DETROIT – A Metro Detroit man has uncovered several unmarked gravestones in his backyard.

The Lincoln Park homeowner is unsure of where the gravestones came from, but there are many theories.

Six unmarked gravestones were found on Memorial Day.

One theory is that they are connected to the old Eloise hospital, which has been closed for years, but had a unmarked graveyard.

The family is hoping to find the family of those on the gravestones.
