What is recorded here

Glen North held a burial ground and church site inside D. Lehane's land, but even Bowman could not point to the exact spot in 1934. The earth swallowed the markers, the prayer room and the names of the dead, leaving only a gap where memory should have stood. People may have walked past graves without knowing it, their footsteps pressing dust onto forgotten bones. Forgetting is not the same as losing; it is a chamber where the dead stop answering and begin watching.
