They [Nancy & Sarah Allen] had come to Utah with the Benjamin Gardner Company in 1852 and owned a cemetery lot by 1870. Little Fredrick died at 11 months old. Two other infant brothers were buried next to him in the next 3 years; it was nearly 20 years before their father, Gordon, purchased a cemetery lot.
Note: This boy's given name is Frederick, his middle name of "Andrew" was used on the stone, upon the death of another son they had named Frederick B. in memory of the earlier son.
The birth year and death of 1877 is an estimate, carved in 1880, when Frederick B. died. The complete birth date of "Andrew" is 6 March 1876 and the death date is 22 February 1877, both confirmed by church record and original cemetery record.
