It is just so sad how our ancestors lost so many of their children. I can't imagine, nor do I ever want to suffer their pain.
ReplyDeleteIt's heartbreaking to see a family lose several children. I'm not sure of the circumstances under which these two children died, but I suspect there may have been an outbreak of some contagious disease.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad indeed, but isn't the tombstone lovely?
