Aunt Kate (Bailey) Brennan blamed herself for Naomi's death. She had accidently pushed Naomi off the porch and she landed on her side. A lump developed where there had once been a bruise. The doctor said the beautiful fragile child with blond hair and blue eyes had carcinoma of the lungs and would never reach adulthood.
Elsie remembered Naomi's funeral was held in the home and the child's casket set in the corner of the room for viewing. Family and friends stopped by the house to pay their respect to the family and then joined the procession to Woodbine Cemetery. Naomi's monument was a angel holding a opened book in her lap. Through the years Maude would pick a bouquet of flowers and pack a picnic and walk up to the cemetery with the other children. The flowers would be placed on Naomi's grave. The rest of the family would eat their lunch under the trees, and then they would walk back home.
