There are two infant graves to the right of the above two, but no inscriptions.

(According to the LA Land Records (1790-1907),  there was an Edward F. Bahm who had 
148.22 acres in Section 7, NE, T5S, R9E (dated March 26, 1892), where these graves 
are located.   

In an article written by Edna Campbell (Vol VIII, 1974), she stated that Jack Bahm 
and his brother, Fletcher, boarded in Hammond to attend school.  She mentioned that 
their parents, the Fletcher Bahms, homesteaded 141 acres adjoining Zemurray Lodge, 
then called Holtonwood.  If this Edward was called Fletcher, it seems reasonable 
that these graves are on that property prior to becoming part of the Zemurray 
acreage. -BEC- 4/3/2001)
