Located in Janesville Cemetery, established in 1863, is the zinc headstone of a mother and infant daughter who passed away two days apart. The back of the headstone reads:
INFANT, DECEASED FEB. 19, 1899.
The front of the headstone reads:
N. B., WIFE OF J. H. MINOR, BORN NOV. 3, 1855, DIED FEB. 21, 1899, AGED 43 YEARS, 3 MO'S, 18 DAYS. CHRIST IS MY HOPE
I found it very unusual to see a woman at that age having a baby, especially in 1899. She obviously died from complications of childbirth. Nancy Minor has a page on FindaGrave.com here.
