Wednesday’s child: Garrett triplets

No lambs or doves or sentimental epitaphs. It is a small, simple gravestone:

TRIPLET BOYS OF
A.C. & C.M. GARRETT
AUG. 11. SEPT. 25. 1914

Did the Garret boys have given names? According to a ohiogravestones.org, yes they did. The State of Ohio Death Index backs it up:

Charles Garrett (d. Sep. 25, 1914)
Leeland Garrett (d. Aug. 11, 1914)
William Garrett (d. Sep. 25, 1914)


Groveport Cemetery, Franklin Co., OH

  1. You can still feel the sadness the family must have experienced even after all these years. Have enjoyed snooping around your blog - have mentioned it in my Follow Friday. Looking forward to more reading more from your blog.

    Fondly,
    Cindy

  2. Thanks for reading, Cindy. That grave marker got me thinking about how much more advanced our medical care is now. Tiny multiples were surely at great risk back then.
