On November 18, 1878, Edward and Susannah Craft gifted 3 acres of their land to Bishop Louis M Fink of Leavenworth County, Kansas. This donation established the Red Bud Catholic Cemetery.
This is a nice and well kept cemetery. When looking for a spot to place a cache I found this gravesite. I wondered who it belonged to. I could tell it was a small grave because of the headstone, footstone, and the boundary markers for the grave plot. It took a bit of research but I found the grave belonged to a no name child. I found that it was the child of Alosia and Barrey Roth. There are no other Roth's here so the parents must have moved on some time after the child died.
Most graves have some kind of headstone but not all have a footstone. A footstone is a marker at the foot of a grave. It lies opposite the headstone, which is usually the primary grave marker. There is a marble placed in the footstone on the Roth child.. The marble has an animal in it but I can't tell what the animal is. Please let me know if you figure it out.
You are looking for a black bison hanging around.
