The Delaware SPCA has found headstones for a woman and her pet in its Stanton pet cemetery that has been slated to be sold for development.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that the organization’s application to the Division of Public Health says that after clearing the brush away they discovered the headstones for Ms. Ligon and her pet Lady.
The SPCA says it will not remove the headstone or dig up the grave to confirm that her ashes are actually there.
This means that this portion of the property will be placed in its care in perpetuity.
The News Journal says that there had been conflicting reports of human remains on the property.
It is not known what will be done with the rest of the property and the shelter which was closed in June.
