Her grandmother, Susan French, is buried nearby, her own grave marked with a zinc headstone. Alpha's two-sided headstone is simple, like many of those for children, with a lamb above the inscription:
Alpha O.,
Daughter of
C.L. &
N.E. McMillan,
Born Nov. 5, 1880,
Died Oct. 24, 1888
On the reverse is a cherub, with an epitaph:
A bud the gardener
gave us,
A pure and lovely
child,
He gate it to our
keeping,
to cherish undefiled
But just as it was opening
To the glory of the day,
Down came the gardener
and took our bud away.
Date of birth (optional): 11/05/1880
