This zinc headstone marks the final resting place for two children:

Agnes L. Huckestein
Born Oct. 30, 1893
Died Sept 19, 1899

H. Alonzo Huckestein
Born Nov. 4, 1884
Died June 9, 1900

Opposite sides of the marker include angels and a cross with flowers.

The children died less than one year apart at ages 5 and 15. I was unable to locate additional information about the family, although a period newspaper included an advertisement for a Salem cigar maker named August Huckestein.
