Jennie, lived only 18 months, but she was a precious gift from God! My grandmother Margaret always called her, 'her little hummingbird', because she was always making "mmm" sounds.
Sweet baby Girl Jennie, your family never forgot about you. Your sister Margaret searched for your grave site for years and when she passed, I continued looking until I found you.
When Jennie died, the town of Sedgwick had one cemetery. She was buried there. However, some years later the cemetery had to be moved due to the Railroad being built through town. It was going to go over parts of the cemetery, so all of those buried there had to be moved elsewhere. The family was never told where she had been buried, just that she had been moved.
Therefore, my Grandmother spent many years trying to find out information on where her baby sister Jennie was buried. It's a shame the city of Sedgwick did not relay the burial information to the family, because Jennie had just been moved to the City of Sedgwick's new cemetery. She remained there unfound until after my Grandmother had passed, and I made her a promise that I would continue the search.
I too made inquiries with the city of Sedgwick and was turned away 2-3 times before finally going to the City Clerk's office and speaking with a woman who knew about the cemetery. She said that yes, she knew where Jennie had been buried. So, now little Jennie has been found and her grand niece visits regularly to leave flowers and say prayers.
