A young life ended so early is always sad. Sabina, born on St Patrick’s Day & died on Valentines’ Day, was only 13.
You can see more photos of Ritter tombstones. I posted the Ritter tombstone pictures on Find A Grave and in my Our Leaves & Branches Photos
Was this one of the big epidemic years? I have several families with those close death dates -- always makes me rather sad imagining how the families managed.
ReplyDeleteWendy, good question. It might have been. I'll have to check that out.
