After the death of her husband, Christian, Helda Christensen married A.W. Lindstrom and they had a son, Conrad. They were building a home on Amsterdam Bay and so Father and son left to do some work on the house. And so the story goes that when they did not return someone went to look for them and found them both dead, an apparent murder/suicide. This occurred one day after Helda gave birth to Myrtle who was to live only a year and a half. There are separate small stones all in a row behind the tall monument. They are engraved: Mother Father Father Conrad Myrtle 131. Unreadable 132. Unreadable 133. BELOVED Delores E. Robinson 1933-1944 134.
