Unusual To See On A Child's Marker

Located at Mt. Salem Cemetery aka Salem Cemetery in Elkins, AR.
When I first seen this marker I thought it was a military marker. Because that is the first thing I think of when I see and eagle holding a flag. Then I read the inscription.  Deffinately not a military stone unless they recruited three year olds in the 1880s. (The bird could possibly be a dove.)

Little Lettie

Located at Stokenbury Cemetery in Elkins, AR.
