Creepiest thing about this is That's my name...

I don't think a dead baby can outgrow their grave, but what the hell... prove me wrong.

That not a coffin, that's a cooler full of beer. Baby coffins are quite light, I can carry two at a time.

Went to a pioneer cemetery in Utah once and there was a mother, father, and 5 kids, all died within 3 days of each other. Really wondered.

Spanish flu?

A wagon could have upturned during a crossing. Dysentery is another option.

Tuberculosis.
It wouldn't kill that fast

Probably yellow fever outbreak. I can't imagine.
I mean a whole family in 3 days limits the diseases quite a bit.

Here's an eye witness account of yellow fever outbreak in Shreveport late 1800's http://files.usgwarchives.net/la/caddo/history/yelfever.txt
I meant that in the sense that diseases such as TB has a fairly long incubation period & wouldn't wipe out a family in a matter of days.

Wouldn't be surprised if mom was nearby. Crazy how dangerous giving birth used to be before hand washing became a thing!
I found some other Johnson graves nearby. I can post more pics if you care haha
Sure! :)
I realized I didn't get pics of the other two Johnson graves besides on one my Snapchat that was a man named Martin Johnson, he died at 30

Aw thanks! These are really neat - I find old cemeteries so interesting (is that morbid??)
Idk but I love them so you're not alone
