I often look at topography maps before I vacation at certain destinations and I noticed a grave marked on the map at this location. The grave is a cement headstone that reads 'Spaulding Baby' and edged with concrete borders although weathered and in pieces.

After looking online for any information on the name 'Spaulding', I found only one reference to this baby located here from Rootsweb.Ancestry.com.. The webpage is a list of miscellaneous graves that are located throughout Modoc and Siskiyou counties and put together by Billie C. & Anita J. Reynolds (email: bj@rh2o.com) on Wed, 19 Jan 2000.

Coincidently, I visited the cemetery in the town of Cedarville and came across two graves of women with the same last name of 'Spaulding'. I have to wonder if there is a family connection.
