We are continuing to photograph the rows as we progress thru the cemetery toward the back. Notice the 
above row with no memorials. Could this be an area reserved for children who died and did not receive a 
headstone. There are a large number of children's stones in the next row west or our right past the 
open area. I can assure you there were many more in those days than now. If you 
study these photos closely you can begin to identify the stones from the listing photos by flipping 
back and forth between the area photos and the individual ones.
