“Four babies died” - Duluth, Minnesota
Monument for four baby boys born to George and Anna Washington in Duluth, Minnesota. They’re buried in Oneota Cemetery.
Their first baby was a son who was stillborn on December 16, 1918.
Their second son, George, was born on October 14, 1921 and died two days later on October 16, possibly due to a congenital heart defect.
Their third son was stillborn on January 4, 1923.
Their fourth son, George, was born on April 16, 1924 and died on April 19 (his birth date is listed on the stone instead of his death date).
Sadly and notably, George Sr. died on what would have been George’s first birthday, when he was just 43 years old.
George and Anna did have one surviving child, a daughter Lorraine who was born in 1920 and lived to the age of 94.
