"Little Eddie" CARPER was Charles Edward Jr CARPER, s/o Charles Edward "Hugh" 
Sr CARPER and his wife, Elizabeth Ann "Pet" McCartney CARPER.  Here is what my 
notes say:

Eddie was discovered in the old Carper grave site at Rts. 689 and 615.  
Turn off 615, onto 689, and up the hill.  It is private property, but the 
owner gave us gracious permission to visit the site, jot dates, and take 
photographs.  Eddie had a stone that was of that soft, perhaps alabaster sort 
with a little lamb engraved on it, whereas his parents had a small upright 
stake sort of stone with both their names engraved, with dates, on two of the 
sides of the stone.  The stone seemed to say 1879.  The C.E. Carper, Sr. 
family Bible says 1878.
