son of David and Mary Housel.
From what I believe we can see in Leanne's photo, and then comparing it with the photo made for sister Mary's grave, I am uncertain about the date of death for John, and about his age at death. I do believe though that these two photos show that these two children did not die on the same day, and are not the same age at death. The dates I show above are based on what I think I can see in LeAnn's photo. However if one looks at the photo on his sister's memorial, a different opinion may prevail.
Much thanks to the two contributors who provided two photos from two different days, resolutions and sunlight conditions.
