has turned up 21 additional coffins in unmarked graves in the city’s Oaklawn Cemetery, officials said.
The coffins, then the remains, will be examined to see if they match reports from 1921 that the victims were males buried in plain caskets. The work, by hand, was still under way. The types of coffins and gender of the victims have not been determined, according to the city’s statement. Fourteen sets of remains exhumed from those coffins were selected for DNA testing, and two had enough DNA to begin sequencing and start developing a genealogy profile.
