Am I the only one who is surprised that an 8-month-old infant was buried without a first name?

Looks like they got an apprentice to carve this one. The names do not begin with any capital letters and a baby of 8 months old would most certainly have had a name.

ReplyDeleteMarian, now you've got me browsing through this and nearby cemeteries for stones with a similar font...
