Hollace's note: As a kid running the hills, I can distinctly remember the blue Marker that said "Unidentified Boy" on it.  I can remember the girl's was red and his was blue.  Cannot find anything on him, though, in the old papers.  The old owner of the funeral home can remember the Unidentified Girl and can vaguely recall the boy, but that is all.  He is in a nursing homme now.  Both were from Colonial Chapel, now defunct.
