1899 Dollhouse Grave of Little Vivian

This wonderful graveside caught my eye while driving through town, so of course I had to investigate further. Come on guys, it's me! 😂 Sad, but so sweet. Her father started building this for her before she passed away. Maybe it's because I grew up across from a cemetery and road my bike there, played ghost in the graveyard, that is why it feels comfortable....my childhood memories. I feel a sense of calm and peace while there. Maybe you don't share the same feelings I do, but none the less, I feel this is worth sharing. I hope you enjoy this video and it shows you the love a father can have for his little girl. ❤ Vivian’s Gift article... Posted on April 23, 2020 by shackelford under Uncategorized At the time of her death, Vivian was the only child of Horace Dean and Carrie Hulda Young Allison.  Seven years after losing little Vivian, they had another child—a second daughter they named Lovell.  Life was somewhat kinder to her; she married in 1928 but never blessed Horace and Carrie with grandchildren.  Eighty-nine years after her birth she was laid to rest in Tavares Cemetery in Tavares, Florida. It was October 28, 1899 when Vivian fell ill.  For two days their family doctor tended to her in every possible manner, but on October 30th –at the tender age of 5—she succumbed to the cerebro-spinal fever that her death certificate says claimed her life.  At the time her father had been building a doll house for her.  It was to be her Christmas present, a surprise for his little girl . . . a labor of love that now had no one to receive it.  But Horace decided to continue his work, so while he finished the house itself, Vivian’s mother began the task of making it a true home, sewing curtains and bedspreads and crafting rugs to warm the floors.  When their masterpiece was finally completed they placed it at their daughter’s grave, filled it with the toys and trinkets she had loved in life, and cared for it for almost 70 years. Vivian's sister took care of the grave until she passed away in the 1990's, and now the people of Connersville have been taking care of it ever since.
