Just north of Shasta state historic park, another historic landmark is a little more lonely. First you have to go down stairs into a wooded area.
The grave is in a little clearing and immediately it’s obvious that the place has been well cared for, with toys and ribbons and decorations kept there. It’s a sad little place, that grave–all alone.

Awww.. That is sweet, and sad. The bars make it look like a little crib.

What does the gravestone say? That is sad, and I thought it looked like a crib too.

Laurie, the little boy was called Charles, and he was Jewish. The family had no Jewish cemetery in Red Bluff, so they came up here where there was one to bury their child. It’s quite a way and would have been a hard journey.

That’s very sad and touching at the same time. A little eerie too since the bars around it almost look like a crib. I’m glad the gave is still cared for. Where my great grandparents are buried rarely sees visitors because it’s the wing that’s the oldest.
