Findagrave provides the details, as all there is on this rock is "Baby Boy Reid." The photo at Findagrave shows that, at some point, someone had accented the lettering with color, but that has now been worn away. Interestingly, Mrs. Reid's Findagrave entry notes that she and her husband raised nine children in Jefferson County, which is some distance away. While Mrs. Reid had ties to the Berwyn area -- now Gene Autry -- there is no indication as to why the baby is buried up here, and what took them west, several counties away.
