Emette L. Lumpkin shares a stone with his younger brother William O. , he too is the son of Oliver D. Lumpkin and Victoria Hitt. Emette was born 6 Mar 1887 and passed 20 Oct 1892.
The little Lumpkin boys died within 9 days of each other. I can not even imagine the pain that the family had to share, first in dealing with the death of Emette and then for William to die so soon after. I do not know why they died, but deaths due to illness were not uncommon before the discovery of antibiotics, something we now take for granted. May Emette and William be Resting in Peace
