Wednesday's Child - Holley Son and Daughter

"I saw you pale and suffering; I heard your morning cry; your memory still upon my heart; with ....." the epitaph reads in part. Preston was their last baby, the youngest of nine children. I have not found information regarding the deaths of these two children. Just an entry in the family Bible noting their death.
