    LKH note:
    There are two children buried in the Cline/Milner Cemetery that have a high probability of being two children of Mary and John Bonnett.

    Currently they are labeled with the surname of Bonned, but the photo of the headstone could be read as Bonnett instead.

    However, their dates of death and ages at death are too close together and therefore problematic for being the children of the same parents.
