one of my first posts was about Dorothy Harvey's dollhouse grave marker, and i have found another one, created by a stone mason named John Keating (of Cincinnati), "to commemorate the deaths of his two children and a niece who died between the years of 1868 and 1878"*. it supposedly even had furniture in it when it was first built.
i was surprised that Harvey (who died in 1931 at age 5) was not the only (or first) one to have a dollhouse grave marker. it's an interesting idea, a dollhouse a very quiet and lonely thing in a setting like that.
