We do have a little bit about this child: This was one of the burials relocated from another cemetery to here when Lake Ray Roberts was created. In this case, the original cemetery was the Emberson Chapel Cemetery, in Tioga. (
visit link) This is a larger chunk of sandstone than that which usually marks a grave, and its inscription is:
L.B.S.
Son of
W.T. & G.A.S. [Could be "C.A.S."]
Born Mar 30. 79.
Died Mar. 9, 85.
Interestingly, the headstone from another relocation from Emberson Chapel, that of George L. Craft, is perched atop L.B.S.'s headstone.
