~~About the couple who are buried together where the husband died at age 21 and the wife died almost 50 years later—at first I assumed it was sad for her to live alone all those years. Was it? Or were their few years of marriage filled with misery? Was she glad when he was gone? Was he unknowingly snacking on arsenic during his last days? Did she never remarry because their life together had been awful, or was it because she had lost her only love?
~~Why is 9-year old Henry buried nowhere near anyone with the same last name?
~~What is the story of the Eatons and the Maynards? Two Nathan Eatons, born too close together to be father-son, each married a woman named Maynard. Were the Maynard girls sisters? Why are there two Nathan Eatons? What was one of them doing in Ontario, California?

In Ontario? Cattle farming. Or growing oranges.
Perhaps frolicking in the land of the Sagehens with Rian.
