My Visit To An Eerie Dollhouse Tombstone From The 1860s

While I was home visiting family in Cincinnati over the holidays, I decided to pay a visit to a very unique tombstone.

John Keating, a stone mason in Cincinnati, built the gravestone in the late 1860s to commemorate his daughter, Mary Julia (1867 -1868), his son Eddie (1874 -1876), and his niece Mary Agnes Keating (1875 -1876). He carved the words “To Our Little Darlings,” below which he transcribed a tragic poem:

“One by one our leaves are falling, fading day by day, and in silence heaven is calling, one by one our lambs away.”

The gravestone clearly holds a special place in this community, as people leave toys, ornaments, Christmas lights, and other tiny things inside it. Still, it’s a bit eerie… What do you think about it?
