" When I was about 8 years old back in the 1960's, my mother told me a baby was buried in this grave at Yocum Pond. Uncle Richard, a Yocum Pond gravedigger, believed all the Missouri relatives were dead, so there was no one to decorate the grave. Perhaps, there is a relative somewhere out in the U.S. or overseas. I've always put a flower on the grave every Memorial Day that I have been stateside through the years. This is a close-up of the headstone, which is a carved rock, Since I'm no longer a spring chicken; I hope a relative finds this infant ancestor, who sleeps beside a Fly grave, at Yocum Pond Cemetery, near Reeds Spring. My artistic wife, Christy, created the floral vase this year." (Photo's courtesy of Junior Warren)
