The baby, second child of Delano and Hazel Beers Antoine, was a still born baby and apparently never named. Bernice Antoine Williamson, sister, wrote a book entitled "Oakes to Ashes" in which she writes about this baby. She wrote, "In 1915 a baby boy came to bless their home but could not stay. Grandfather Beers made a coffin from an apple box and his tiny blue body was buried on the ranch where he was born and covered with a large flat stone to mark the spot. This little boy never drew a breath of life and left grief in the hearts of his parents that could not be forgotten. Many years later they were to visit the old homestead and find the small grave, still covered, under the fence line where they had thought it least likely to ever be molested."
