This works because this grave’s location is recorded. Most graves’ exact spots still await a field day with a GPS unit.
That is most of what the public record yet tells us. Emme Cushing was a child of this town, not a name on a list, with a life still largely unrecovered. We will not invent the rest. If you are descended from Emme's family, you can add a source, a correction, or a memory. Until then, their name is kept here, with respect.
The stone is still there.
