In 1883, when 2-year old Clarence died, he was buried at Lakewood Cemetery. In 1915, when his father, Eugene passed away, the grave was re-opened, Clarence's small casket was removed and placed on top of his father's and they were buried together in the same grave. They even share the same gravestone.

NOTE: The story of the 1915 opening of the grave was told to me by an elderly gentleman who, at the age of 15, helped his father open the grave for the burial of Eugene Cady. This man's father was the groundskeeper and grave digger for the cemetery at that time.
