"The Unknown Baby Girl
In death she belongs to all of us."
An editorial appeared in the July 14, 1972, issue of The White County Record. It read in part: "Even with the additional data revealed in today’s Record columns, the child remains unknown. In a sense, then, she belongs to all of us--to parents who can translate her early death into the worst of their fears; to those who are without children; to those who remember when their own offspring were toddlers and to each and every one of us who holds fast to our earliest memories of those happy days when we, too, gazed around in wonder at a world that was much too big for us."
It would seem to be fitting that Judsonia adopt this baby. She should have a gravestone with a marker that will tell her story and flowers in profusion to symbolize the happiness that she had so little opportunity to enjoy.
Hundreds of motorists pass the site every day. Perhaps, as her story becomes known, Judsonia can help all America renew its dedication to the welfare of children everywhere. After all, she belongs to all of us now!
