John and Susan (Myers) Hickle left two of their 10 children behind at Salem Cemetery when they moved from Benton Township to Lincoln County, Kansas, during September of 1884.
Jacob Edwin, born 28 September 1873, died 14 June 1874 at less than a year old. The family lot at Salem was purchased when Jacob died. The bottom portion of his tombstone is below ground now, so date of death and his age are no longer evident.
Rosa May, born 30 June 1879, died 1 August 1880, a month past her first birthday. So far as we know, only Jacob and Rosa May are buried on the lot, immediately west of the lot of their grandparents, Jacob and Harriet (Dick) Myers.
