In this Thursday, Sept. 8, 2016 photo, the remains of many of Reno's founders have rested for more than a century in Hillside Cemetery on the edge of downtown Reno, Nev. Some of the graves have headstones, but others have only wooden markers erected in recent years by volunteers like this one pictured here. Historic preservationists are outraged that the owner has obtained a permit and posted a notice of plans to exhume hundreds of graves and transfer the remains to another section of the cemetery so the land can be sold for potential development.
