Frank C. Mingledorff v. William Crum, Preston Daughtry, and Leon Crum, as Trustees of the Voluntary Unincorporated Association
Florida District Court of Appeal
388 So. 2d 632 (1980)

- Written by Kelli Lanski, JD
Facts
William Crum, Preston Daughtry, and Leon Crum (plaintiffs) sought to have land owned by Frank C. Mingledorff (defendant) declared a dedicated cemetery, granting the families and descendants of those buried there an easement or right to access it and to be buried there themselves. Mingledorff had bought the land in 1972, and gravestones from the Crum, Daughtry, and other families in the area dated back to the early 1900s. The Crum and Daughtry families visited and maintained the graves. Mingledorff did not object to the existence of the cemetery or to descendants of people already buried there being interred in the area, too; instead, he sought to limit future burials to a small portion of the land.
