The Four Whitmans
Duck Creek Boneyard in Wellfleet, MA.
These are four siblings, all babies of the Reverend Levi and Sarah Whitman. Ruth died in 1793 at age 16 weeks. Then came Ichabod Thomas, who died in 1798 at age 2 years. They tried again with another Ichabod Thomas, who lived and died in 1800. He unfortunately blessed their home for only 11 days. Catherine’s grave is the newest–she died in 1803 at age 4 months.
What a sad time it must have been for Levi and Sarah.

Back in the bone yards, I see. And quite an imagination, too.
