The head stone reads:“Limb of Unknown Child”There is very little known about this grave, and some conflicting information which just makes this more strange. The limb is thought to be a boy’s leg.When I went to the site no one knew for sure where it was rather just giving me vague directions, that lead me off the main path, and onto a dirt one.According to the ,difference between the information in the interment records and the burial location. The limb is located in section T-E of the Orphans lot. But when the internment records were reviewed, the burial location is listed as T-F, or the next row up from T-E.*Many have searched through countless&nbsp;newspaper records with nothing found, or mentioned.
