This venerable tree is revered for the comfort and peace it offers to visitors of a little farm cemetery. It's also a stark reminder of our town's suffering before childhood vaccines were common.
What a big responsibility Rebecca Jenkins gave that pine tree! I would want my darlings close, too. Thank you for a heartbreaking, haunting article about an awful childhood disease we think nothing of today (except when the kids cry getting their shots).

This is a fascinating post. I have heard about that farm cemetery a few times.
Swing over for a visit sometime. It’s a beautiful little pocket.
