Our Baby's presence in Greenwood Cemetery is presently known only through the reading of this section which was completed in 1988. At that time, a marker was found with only the information "Our Baby" on it. This marker was not found when the cemetery was photographed in 2015. However, there are several broken pieces in the vicinity of the Pettit monument. Further inspection is necessary to determine if any of these broken pieces can be identified as Our Baby's marker.

The identification of Our Baby as the child of Timothy and Matilda Pettit is speculative at this time. However, this child is clearly a member of this family. Further investigation is also needed to determine if the child's parents can be definitively identified.

A highly likely possibility is that Our Baby is the child of Timothy and his second wife, Matilda, and was born and died in 1862, the same year in which Matilda died. This possibility is based on the spacing of Timothy's children with both Harriet and Matilda, and the likelihood of a childbirth-related death for Matilda.

If you have information about Our Baby, please contact the manager of this memorial. Thank you.
