The Forgotten Dead of the Oregon Asylum for the Insane

"In 1913 -1914 the state of Oregon decided that dead inmates were taking up too much real estate and their bodies were exhumed, cremated and put into these copper canisters. The containers were labeled but the paper labels degraded over the years and the identities of most of those cremated remains are forgotten. David Maisel took a series of photographs of the urns, now made into a book."
They should take all the ashes and make a memorial statue out of them.
