Ardara, County Donegal, Ireland. 2nd March 2013: The remains of an Irish emigrant who researchers believe was murdered while building a Pennsylvania railroad in 1832 are reburied in his home country. John Ruddy was among 57 Irishmen hired to help build a stretch of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad known as Duffy's Cut. Researchers say cholera killed most of the immigrants. But forensic evidence indicates Ruddy and several others died of violent means, likely because of ethnic hatred or fear of the contagious disease. Photo by:Richard Wayman/Alamy
