The Angels of Lockhart
By
Thomas L. Wiley
Based on a True Story
Why did these babies die? One hundred years ago almost every family knew the sorrow of losing a child. Sickness was a constant threat, and Death a frequent visitor. But to bury seven babies? There has got to be more than “They just died.”

“A Powerful Story of Family, Sorrow, Faith, and Suspicion!

From 1890 to 1910, Stephen Parker and his second wife, Lizzie, buried all seven of their children. The only reminder of these angels is a row of tiny weathered gravestones in Lockhart Cemetery, ten miles north of Meridian, Mississippi. According to the family these babies died of common childhood illnesses, born in a time when medicine had so little to offer. But on closer inspection of the stones, a fascinating mystery unfolds. No child lived past twenty-two months and each died before the next was born. Each death was unique: a death unto itself. There was no epidemic or sudden tragedy that swept away Stephen’s second family; no hereditary diseases to explain these deaths.
What went on in this family a century ago? Has anyone in the past ever questioned these deaths? Can it possibly be that secrets—unimaginable secrets—have been hidden by this family for the past one hundred years? |
