In one corner of the old grave yard stands what appears to be the wooden frame of a baby crib, marking a tiny grave. At tho head of the crib is a weatherbeaten cross, carved out of wood. There is no Inscription left to tell the brief history of the baby burled alone on the hill in a remote cor ner of the old cemetery.
