Realtor finds 60-year-old tomb on Rock Hill property for sale Greg Suskin
A Rock Hill realtor decided to hike through a 3.5-acre commercial property she had just listed for sale when she made a startling discovery.
“Fifteen years in real estate and this has never happened,” said Kimberly Gaffney, who found a tomb in a small wooded area on Saluda Road. “As we were walking down the property border, property line, I’d seen this thing sitting up and I thought it was a front porch, the remains of a house.”
A tomb found right off a major road in Rock Hill. Forgotten for decades until the land was put up for sale this year. No sign of a house, or that anyone lived here. Even the current land owner didn t know the grave was there. What we learned about William Mason Chisolm, and the realtor s search to find any of his living relatives.
