It's always sad to learn about a baby or child who died, even one so long ago. In this case, Laura's memory was preserved by the family. Her sister Asenath, very late in life, wrote a short family synopsis that included Laura's name. Asenath was 2 years old when Laura was born and died, so they must have talked about her over the years.<br /><br />The cemetery did give me a sense of peace. Thanks for reading and taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment--it's much appreciated.

I've found traces in my family line of so many children who died in their first few years of life. Is it possible to counter anguish with a sense of peace? There's a book by Julian Barnes, "Nothing to Be Frightened Of," about that question -- a friend just recommended it to me. Thanks for this loving post.Mariann Reganhttp://mariannsregan.comnoreply@blogger.com
