The stage at North High

Ohio · USA · Cemetery

The ground was the burial ground for the children's home across the field. The graves were moved for the school, and two stones were lost.

Before this school at Springfield, Ohio was built, the ground was a graveyard belonging to the children's home across the field.

The graves were moved a short distance to make way for the building. Two stones were lost in the process, and possibly more than the stones.

Two children, a boy and a girl, are reported on the stage in the auditorium.

A children's home burial ground is a particular kind of place. The children in it died in institutional care, often without families to claim them, and the markers were frequently small, cheap and easy to lose. Moving such a cemetery is a job done by contractors working from a plan, and a plan is only as good as the records the institution kept.

Two stones unaccounted for means two children unaccounted for.

The school is in use.
