A woman and all her children? Very sad.
Actually — not all the children, and the large marker isn’t for the mother, it’s a general memorial. She survived — but as the linked article points out, didn’t really recover from the loss. Nevertheless, a terrible tragedy, to lose five children in one month.
Wow, those are very old. Great picture.
Very poignant - I’m glad they weren’t all her children, but devastating to lose five children. Thank you for posting.
