Lehigh Valley man lives in a cemetery. Now he’s facing eviction.
Confined to a hospital bed due to an accident, Jim Racht is facing eviction from an apartment he began renting in late 2022. Racht uses oxygen 24 hours a day.

Both his accident and housing predicament directly involve Easton Cemetery, which hired him part time in late 2022 for seasonal work — mowing grass — on the nearly 90-acre burial site in the city’s West Ward. In spring 2023, while mowing some of the cemetery’s lawn, the commercial vehicle Racht was riding flipped over, severely injuring his back and neck. With previous medical disabilities, he has remained bedridden for months.
