Chenevert Babies

March 29th, 2007

One thing, sadly, that you often see in cemeteries are the graves of babies. Stillborn or only living a few days, these graves are always touching.

An unusual grave in that set, however, was the one I found for the Chenevert Babies.

There is only one date on the marker, March 6, 1930, but it is obvious it marks the resting place of a set of ill-fated triplets. It isn't hard to imagine the slim chance for survival triplets would have had being born in 1930, however, it is still a rare find as far as graves go. Twins, I have seen. Triplets, never.

The grave marks the final resting place of young Varonia, Alban, and Anthony Chenevert. Who their parents were or if they had any other siblings, still remain a mystery.
