(STEVENSON, Ala.)   An Alabama appeals court will not stop the removal of the body of a woman laid to rest in her front yard.

The civil appeals court denied James Davis of Stevenson his request to stop the city from moving the grave.

Davis originally ignored the city council's denial of a burial permit and still laid his wife of 48 years to rest beside their front porch in 2009.

if there was no current ordinance in place at the time he petitioned the council to allow this type of burial,then why would they come later and disturb his wife's final resting place.the city should try and find a way to resolve this amicably.
