Is John Lowry Burial Site at Lodi Cemetery haunted?

No claims are filed here — the record keeps this place for its documented history, not for a haunting on file.

The record — long form

Lowry is the sign — the 'above the gate' that's the hay-wagon high, the 'broken chain' that's the painted female. The 'motto' is the read — the 'liberty to the fugitive' that's the stagecoach stopped for, the 'altered routes' that's the travelers came to see. The 'loads' is the drove — the 'Detroit River' that's the hauled to, the 'well-stored house' that's the Chapman history's phrase.

The 'legislator' is the '39 — the 'Whig then Republican' that's the party switch over slavery, the '700 acres' that's the splendid farm. The 'openly' is the difference — the 'unlike most' that's the advertised his station, the 'not hide' that's the conviction displayed. Lowry is the advertised — the 'sign' that's the said it loud, the 'drove them himself' that's the backed it up.

The file keeps Lowry: the gate sign, the stagecoach readers, the Detroit runs, and the 700 acres.

John Lowry is the archive's Michigan file — the signboard station.

Why this file matters

John Lowry's grave is the archive's Michigan file — the advertised secret.

A cemetery keeps its signpost — the file's suggestion being that Lowry's hold is the proclaimed: the 'gate sign' that's the announced the crime, the 'stagecoach' that's the stopped to read it, and the 'loads' that's the proved it true.
