Grace Estella Lindsley, the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lindsley, died on October 26, 1905, shortly after her 4th birthday. A lovely poem appeared in the local newspaper, written by Mrs. Lizzie Ferguson. Grace was first buried in the old Perkins Cemetery. Afer a munitions plant went in near the old Perkins Cemetery, all the graves were re-interred at the current Perkins Cemetery.
It reads:
There is many an empty cradle
There is many a vacant bed
There is many a lovely bosom,
Where joy and life has fled.
For think in every graveyard,
The little hillock lies:
And every hillock represents
An angel in the skies.
Rest in peace, young Grace.
