Could This Be the Grave?







I returned to the Walnut cemetery yesterday, having been told by Nancy where to look for the Cantrell child's grave.












If I understood her correctly, it should be in this section, far at the back.


I didn't find any stones that said 'Cantrell,' but this little marker -- which may have been broken off -- with its uneven chiseled cross seems to be a likely candidate.
There's a field stone at the foot of the grave -- about three feet lie between the two markers. Just right for a small child.

To the right of this grave is another, somewhat longer --maybe five feet. It's marked with two rocks -- no carving.

There was no sign at all of a playhouse -- no rotting boards or anything at all. This may or may not be the Cantrell child's resting place.











But whoever it was, I wish I'd thought to bring a flower.
