A Massachusetts cemetery that is currently harboring the remains of 50 people, including a former governor, is threatened as its graves are sliding down a hill due to erosion. Storms have pushed down trees and washed away several yards of soil on the cemetery's northern side. When more storms come, there would be more erosion that could see graves slip away. Officials of Green River Cemetery will exhume and rebury the remains of those resting therein. The AP quotes Alan Blanker, president of the Green River Cemetery Co. , as saying that, "We need to move as fast as we can. " Blanker adds that, "The last thing we want is for any remains to slip away. "
