BILLY KEMPER
JUNE 14, 1953
A simple, but still very legible marker-stone, slightly sunk in the ground. In January of 2012, it was overgrown to the point of being "hidden" - I only noticed it, because it was a sunny winter day with snow-melt and the ground was wet/soft; in walking between rows, I chanced upon Billy, feeling the firmness of his stone beneath my foot. I uncovered his stone and two other infant stones nearby, that had also been grown over. I cleaned them up to allow taking of pictures. These infant graves are located in the far back-left area of the cemetery, away from other plots. Numerous more modern, still decorated infant gavesites are off to the right.
Hic nobis semen super terram et plantavit ut flos in caelo ... requiem in aeternam pacem paulo Billy ...
