I was hiking in the southern Catskills last weekend and came upon this carefully tended 19th c. family grave site, mostly dated in the 1820s-1840s range. One of the people I was with said it's been cleaned up a fair bit since they started hiking out there, but they don't know who's responsible.
I'd say at least 80% of the markers were for children's graves, the majority of those living less than a week. From what we could tell, all of the children were from just two mothers.
