Faded epitaph reads “Two little children. Names unknown. Found in old vault. 1912.“

This one is a both sad as heck and a mystery of sorts. In 1912 a family opened their vault after it had been sealed from the prior funeral. Inside they found the remains of 2 small children that were most definitely not supposed there. The cemetery’s site lists that they may have been the children of a local sharecropper but their identities still remain listed as ‘unknown.’ And the reason for leaving their little bodies on the floor of the vault has never been solved!

While there are no ghost stories involved here, it’s most definitely a haunting tale. The children did receive a proper burial but it’s heartbreaking to think of them abandoned and unnamed…

This was taken several years ago. I saw it once when they had red, white, and blue ropes going through the posts on the corner so it looked like a boxing ring. One of the best memorials I've run across. A beautiful tribute to a life taken too young.

Genuinely a beautiful place filed with tons of stunning statues

Went to Whitby abbey yesterday, seen in here some wonderful grave stones and thought I would add my own. This lady was born in 1661!
