Episode Details

A baby girl named Maytie Raker, who died in 1906 at just four months old and was the first person buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery, finally got her own headstone after 120 years — a heartfelt correction long overdue. Her grave had remained unmarked for generations until old records revealed her story. Alongside her sister Hattie, also lost in infancy, Maytie’s legacy is now honored with a beautiful stone adorned with butterflies and flowers, reading “Forever in our hearts, Maytie Raker.” The cemetery, older than the city itself, sees this as a vital step in acknowledging its deep roots and the lives that shaped it. It’s a moving testament to how communities can right historical wrongs — even after a century — and ensure no story fades into silence.
