These babies, all remembered on the single upright stone, are the infant and young children of Civil War veteran George Washington Ames and his wife Lucy Ann Webster Ames.
They were pioneers in the Cedar River valley and had a homestead before the census takers even knew where to draw the lines.
After a brief escape from Washington to Arkansas, the family returned to settle in south King County, residence somewhere near the county line in the Stuck River Precinct.
George was killed in a logging mill accident in 1909 and was buried at Mountain View in Auburn; Lucy managed the family hotel at Pacific for some years after that, and of her 12 children only 5 were living in 1910. She died on Boxing Day 1920 in Seattle and was buried alongside George in the GAR section at Mountain View.
