Forest Home's most evocative monument is this tiny pair of statues of a brother and sister. The soft marble is weathered, with the childrens' hair completely worn away, and the legs of the girl - who is seated - are missing.

The name "Lars Schmidt" is barely visible. The name of his sister has entirely worn away, but I have been told that she is called Ruth. The figures are about two feet tall.

Gifts - flowers, toys, beads - are often left here by present-day visitors, a practice that occurs anywhere there are realistic depictions of long-dead children.
