All 20 were buried in the one 'Lot-#20', with more than one child per grave. It seems that there were 4 infants in each grave, and most likely 5 graves in the Lot.
Martha and her sister Mildred, were both buried in one grave on the same day, and the grave was also shared with 2 infants from other families, as per the Cemetery Dept..
*The Cemetery Department in Lansing said with 20 infants in just one 'Lot', that there 'may not' be any markers; possibly no room.
A findagrave photo volunteer verified that there are no markers for any of the 20 infants as of 2016.
