He was born early and lived just a few hours. His grave is unmarked and may never be located for sure. It was told to me by his mother that at the time of his birth and death that they didn't have the money to buy a plot so he is buried in one of the family members plots to the side since he was so small. They say that he as so tiny that his whole body fit in his father's hand.

The records for this cemetery were destroyed in a fire many years ago. They rely on people to tell them who is buried where and most of the people who would know about the old graves are now deceased themselves. e
