Note: a stone marker located in central portion of the cemetery is very difficult to read.

     I read Hans ?einsen (Heinsen or Hansen?) Dode 14 Oct 1874   age 5y 13d  (Danish)

 

The Aurora Cemetery seems to have many unmarked grave sites, probably some were never marked and also many of the markers have been lost thru settlement of markers and broken stones.
