John Keating was a stonemason, devoted to his children and his neice. Sadly, all three children died in the decade between 1868 and 1878. To commemorate their young lives, Keating carved a dollhouse for their graves. Supposedly, the house, whose interior can be seen through the windows, at one time contained doll furniture.

One by one the leaves are falling, fading day by day. And in silence heaven is calling, one by one our lambs away.
