That was when this beautiful and outstanding headstone was placed for little EVELYN MYERS, whom was only one month shy of three years old.
The deeply saddened and remoresfull miner whom purchased the headstone did so after he purely and accidentally caused the childs death when she ran up behind him to greet her big friend while he raised a small rock pick behind his head.
He was checking on what looked like gold ore in some of the mine tailings that had been spread on the main street to counter the mud during the rains.
He was on his way to see her as he usually did at the store her parents ran before going home.
The over abundance of children in the Bodie cemetary is another sad chapter of life and death in Bodie Ca. :(
