About this record
About these plates
A single photograph shows two cross-shaped coffin plates, both engraved "Delia Cardinal": one for an infant aged 1 year 18 days, the other aged 23 years 7 months (that age line is partly uncertain). They are presumably from one family — possibly a mother and daughter, or a name given again to a later child.
Provenance
The photograph was uploaded to the archive but never linked from any page; no dates, location, or contributor were recorded.
