Such a tragic story for this family.

Edna Arlia Peterson Adams and Calvin Emmett Adams lost six babies. Their oldest surviving child, a little girl also named Edna, lived only 13 days.

Edna and all six of their babies are buried together in one lot at Pine Crest. Edna died from complications during the birth of her last child in 1930, and that baby boy is buried with her.

Her parents, Sarah McLemore Peterson and Archibald Peterson, are buried in a nearby plot at Pine Crest.

Emmett later remarried and is buried elsewhere with his second wife.
