I visited the cemetery office and spoke with the manager on Aug. 14, 2021.
It seems back in those days, families would purchase 6 plots at a time and bury several family members together. Sadly, in this case, only two of the five currently have a headstone. I inquired about purchasing a headstone for William, Rose and Ruth.
