The tombstone, in the Carlton, TX cemetery, reads:



in memory of our

little baby

Millie Izora

dau of 

J. H. & S. I. Vinson

born 

Sep. 10, 1889 

died Jan. 31, 1891 

gone but not forgotten



The grave is surrounded by a cement curb that encloses a space for between 5 and

10 graves. Millie's grave is in the center and there are two short stones

without markings on the right of it and one short stone with no markings on the

left. These could be to "reserve" these spaces for later, but they also could

mark other burials. The curbed space is just to the right of a small "mausoleum"

that has a metal sign designating it as the first tomb in the cemetery. Just

above Millie's grave are the graves of the Carlton family, for whom, I assume,

the town was named.



Additional Comments:
John HOOD Vinson was the inaugural pastor of Carlton Baptist Church and moved to

Carlton about 1888. The church was inaugurated in 1891.
