Fort Wright Cemetery & so many "unknown child" markers


I take Tika and go walking often by the Fort Wright Cemetery. I always shed tears to see about ten or so grave markers like the one above. So very, very sad. HOW? WHY? 

I just came upon an answer. This website,  carried a post from Cathy Hanson, quoting Rebecca Nappi (who used to write in our paper, remember?), back on 8 Feb 2016 titled "Is There Really A Mystery Here?"

Bottom line, there really is no mystery...... and no answer. Many children died "back in the day."  Suggest you go read the piece for yourself. Won't be comforting but at least it's something.
