We have confirmed that baby Thelma was buried in the same casket as her sister, Evelyn, age 2, on January 30, 1919. The cemetery registers note that Evelyn "& babe." Were interred in grave 2, Lot 98, Block D, by Miller & Tracy Mortuary. It is likely a full size casket was purchased for these children. There is only one marker, the one for Evelyn. Both children died during the height of the influenza pandemic in Portland and graves and caskets were at a premium.
