Another 'Headstone Story'

I've received a lot of help from fellow KTers in the search for my paternal family, and DH's birth family.

In the course of all this research, and due in a large part to Alisande's Find-a-Grave info, I joined Find-a-Grave and have already fulfilled a few requests for a remote cemetery. While I was there I photographed several other headstones and entered them on the site, even though there were no pending requests.

This is one of the stones I photographed. It's for four children - Thora, Helga, Ronnaug, and Olaf - from the Gutterud family. They were ages 3 to 7. Three died in 1910 and one in 1911. I don't know how their parents survived this tragic loss.

I did not find any other Getterud headstones in the small cemetery.
