BABYLAND

The Empty Cradle --- Babyland

ROSE HILL CEMETERY --- EAGLE GROVE, IOWA

“For all the babies who were never rocked in the arms of their parents, or whose time of rocking was far too brief, may they be rocked forever in the arms of the angels.”

Margaret C. Myers

The Empty Cradle is a web page dedicated to the dear departed infants in the Babyland section of Rose Hill Cemetery in Eagle Grove, Iowa. It was compiled by Sarah Thorson Little and Paul Wilde from cemetery records, birth and death records and news items and is complete to date. Photographs were taken and uploaded to the webpage. Those interred with no grave marker were noted as such. Babyland is a section of Rose Hill Cemetery reserved for the stillbirths, infants and small children interred in the Babyland section. There are many other infants interred in family plots in the main cemetery which are not posted to this web page.
