Home Burial by Robert Frost was his poem about a mourning couple and their child. A professor said such things were common in rural areas in past times in America.
He and his wife Elinor had a child die at one day old.
Elinor Bettina Frost (1907 - 1907).
Born 1907 in Derry, Rockingham, New Hampshire.
Died 1907 age one day.
That is so sad.
My grandmother lost her middle child only a few days after it birth, around 1910. She still cried over that baby in her nineties.
