Holstein Pioneer Cemetery

A few headstones here grabbed my attention. The Hiram family lost a 21 year old son and four infant children. The other headstones' story was told by the close dates of death. February 20th, 23rd and March 1st and an infant son in 1864. Given the time of year I would suspect one had a deadly virus and then passed it on. Such a loss for one family to take at on time. Their bodies are probably spread out in this tiny forest behind and their headstones brought out and placed together before they were lost.
