    3. A big thank you to Jim and everyone for their suggestions.  Not only is my great grandmother Jeanetta Lazrus buried in Lutheran All Faiths Cemetery but she's also buried with her grandson Rudolph Kern.  He was a stillborn and died the same year as Jeanetta - 1887.  The woman in the cemetery office was very nice and very helpful. I didn't know anything about this child.  Her daughter Charlotte married Rudolph R. Kern and they had a son Rudolph Jr. born in 1888.  I thought Rudolph Jr. was their first child.  I think it's a little creepy to give a new baby the same name as a previous still born baby.  But I guess it was the custom.   Barbara
