Prairieville Cemetery Records provide the following information on these six buried (right foreground to left back) in this Hey plot. Carolina is buried between Abraham and Peter, but has no marker. The small marker between the first and second stones says "Father" and is the marker for Jacob Hey. A similar stone marked "Mother" (for Klementina) is invisible behind the large memorial.
