Richard and Catherine Dotson spent their lives working the land near Savannah, Georgia. In death, they never left it—even as the world changed around them. Buried on their farm in the late 1800s, the couple now lies beneath runway 10 at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, their names etched into the pavement.
When the military seized the property during WWII, the Dotson family allowed most graves to be moved—but not their ancestors’. “They belonged here,” says a historian. Today, the Dotsons are local legends, their presence a reminder of Savannah’s layered past. Airport staff speak of them fondly, and visitors marvel at the thought of a love story literally set in stone—and asphalt—forever part of the city’s haunted charm.
