Large monument marking the death of (5) children of John and Mary Smith.  
Per oral history, three of the children died of diptheria in January 1886. 

The following poem is found on the base of the monument:
"They died in Jesus and are blest
How sweet their slumbers are
From sufferings and from sins released
And free from every care(?)"

Each child also has an individual marker.
