DEATH REGISTER
In this cemetery there are very few gravestones for those under the age of twenty. This is one of them.

Looking through the death register, there are three other children of Szabsa Schabsa and Tema HERZIG, all very young, who died in 1922, 1923 and 1924.
Could this have influenced the parents' decision to put up a gravestone for their 14 year old daughter?
