Cemeteries are always sad, of course, but among the grave-sites I visited on Memorial Day in Montgomery's Oakwood Cemetery, these two stood out: one with no name or other information, by itself.
The other is part of a huge stone marking the deaths of several members of the Hill family in the 1850's, including two children, four year old William, and seven year old Lucy. I'm confident the mortality rate for children back then was even worst than now.
