I used to do cemetery images. The older the cemetery, the better. One of the most interesting monuments was very large. It was a statue of 2 or 3 children. I can't remember now. The base had I think 4 kid's names with one being, "the unamed one." It is sad when. you walk around and see how many kids from the same family died, often within a short time.My wife does genealogy. The abundance of child mortality prior to the 20th century is staggering to those of us use to modern medicine and modern sanitation. Very common to see a couple have 8 -10 children and only a couple make it to adulthood. Often some disease going through would take out a handful of children at one time. Also very common for women to die from childbirth, especially after the number of children and years began to rack up.
