Located in the Mount Olivet Cemetery (entrance coordinates listed below) in Joliet, IL, this marker is for three members of the Egan family. John Egan who died on January 15, 1889 at the age of 70, James Egan who died on February 6, 1902 at age 60, and John P. Egan who preceded both in death on May 1, 1878 at (sadly) age 3 months.
The marker also provides a poem:
Will you come to my grave when my spirit has fled,
And beneath the green sod I am laid with the dead,
When the heart that loved you is turing to clay,
And in Mount Olivet's cold dews I am passing away.
Lastly, a hole can be found in the base of the marker, perhaps from someone stepping on it or somebody dropping stones to hear the metal clank.
