Finding Ethel May

In this same cemetery, there was also buried an infant daughter of Harold and Ethel. (That would be Grandma's older sister, for all my family out there.) We were told she was buried in the "Infant Section."
Now, for the rest of the cemetery they had maps showing where the plots were and who was buried in them. Not so for this section. The map had been lost, and although they still had a record of who was buried there, they had no idea where they were buried.
That's a problem. And it's not as easy as going out and writing down where the headstones are, either.
Can you see in this picture how the headstones are pretty thick along the edges, but there is this big meadow with nothing in it? In that meadow lie the bodies of over a thousand infants. Only one has a headstone. Here and there in the ground, you'll see a brick with a number on it. I never saw a number that wasn't a multiple of five, so I don't think the others were all missing. I think they only gave a brick to one out of every ten or fifteen graves. Ethel May was number 934.

We thought we could see where the rows might have been, and after finding numbers 930 and 940, we went back and asked what number the only infant headstone was. He was number 933.
My sweater is rolled up and placed where we think she may be buried. The little headstone on the right is the infant (number 933), and the one on the left is part of an entirely different numbering system. This cemetery has some issues.
Did I mention that all of these records for this enormous cemetery are handwritten and kept on 3x5 cards in old card catalog drawers?
In a trailer?
One fire, and all these records go up in smoke, and no one will ever know who all these infants were.
Or any of the other people who don't have headstones.
Just gives you warm fuzzies all over, doesn't it?
