Veteran's missing casket found in wrong gravesite

6 years ago

The casket of a veteran in Whitestown who was buried more than a decade ago was found in a nearby grave at Lincoln Memory Gardens in Boone County after being reported missing last week.  Family members discovered the casket of Charles Bovenschen missing when they went to bury his wife in the same burial plot.  Bovenschen passed away in 2006. His wife, Mary, died on February 18.  Both Charles and Mary are now together in the mausoleum until a new graveside ceremony can be planned by the family to bury them together. That ceremony will take place sometime mid-April.
