This is a small, dual-sided marker, and there is no suggestion as to whether there is any relationship between the two children. One side features a dove, taking flight, with the inscription:

Born Sep. 6, 1869
Died Sep. 20, 1870

Age

Happy infant, early blest;
Rest in
Peaceful slumbers, rest.

The other side features a lamb with a banner of hope/victory, with the inscription:

Thomas J. Parish,

Born Apr. 12, 1861,
Died Apr. 3, 1863,

Age 2 Y's 11 M's 21 D's
