LANCASTER, Pa. — The cemetery where President James Buchanan is buried was vandalized, and obscenities were spray-painted on his tombstone.
The nation’s 15th President, who died in 1868, is buried in Union County’s Woodward Hill Cemetery, overlooking Lancaster and the Conestoga River.
On Thursday, someone painted three sexually explicit slang words on his tombstone and toppled neighboring tombstones. A construction company volunteered to remove the paint on Saturday.
