This idyllic setting is of a "Small" cemetery, deep inside Natchez Trace State Park. Idyllic but full of sadness and sorrow. The large marker is that of Willis Small The others are of his children all of whom died as infants or no more than a year or so of age. Imagine the heartache and difficulties these families endured is no easy task!
