Three members of the Lowrance family are buried in a family plot, each grave marked by a homemade tombstone. The S letters are frequently turned backwards here, and the inscriptions are obviously hand-carved into the local stone blocks used for the tombstones.
These three children died within weeks of one another - one died within a few days of his younger sibling's birth. Blasterz have no evidence, but we wonder if the Spanish Flu was the cause of these deaths?
