Fergerson v. Utilities Elkhorn Coal Co‪.‬

Appellant, Louise Fergerson, mother and next of kin of Jean and Otis Fergerson who died in early infancy, sought in the Pike Circuit Court to recover damages because of the desecration of the infants graves by appellee, Utilities Elkhorn Coal Company. She also sought an injunction which would require appellee to remove slate and other mining refuse - which had been dumped on the graves - so that her right of visitation could be exercised.
