Eight Days

This is a photograph of one of the graves in the Historic Nordegg Cemetery.  I took this photograph earlier this fall.  The headstone says.... "In Memory of Dorothy Madeline" who died in April of 1920, at the age of eight days.  Life must have been so difficult out in the frontier of a coal mining town a century ago.  We take for granted so many things in these modern times.  The current Covid pandemic is a bit of an eye opener for all of us and makes us realize how mortal we really are.
