As I say in my Find a Grave profile,
"There is a story under every stone".
While photographing graves for Find A Grave or genealogy research, I have come across many interesting stories about the people buried under those tombstones. In this blog I will share some of the most interesting of these stories with you. Why? So these people will not be forgotten.

HIS DEATH SAVED THE LIVES OF MANY - Ronald Jarrett
Thanks for the follow up this baby's death. I believe what you stated in the article is the reason the deceased was nicknamed "Medical History Baby". As always, I enjoy each new posting you do.
Medical 'history' baby. The important word here is 'history'. That means that some kind of line was drawn. Before then... After that. And when you add to it the rest about 'saving many lives', I think it's safe to assume that your deduction is probably correct. Something very important was learned from his death. But then again, this type of injury to the right side of a baby’s brain is more commonly found in poor delivery techniques. What we know today as malpractice. Maybe the doctor was the one who learned something. And the grief-stricken parents, desperate to find some meaning in their child’s short life, assigned too much significance to it.
