      Double stone erected for infants. There are so many of these infant burials everywhere. Most of the time these small stones are all that is left to record their short time on earth.
PHOTO       Unreadable mortuary marker.. I see lots of these small metal markers. After a few years they become unreadable and the person's only marker is lost. Most of these graves like this will never have a regular marker and the only record of this person is an obituary in an unknown newspaper, a long lost mortuary record, or a death certificate. The person's exact place of burial is soon lost.
