    “Long ago when little babies would die before they would be baptised they would not be buried in the graveyard.”

    Long ago when little babies would die before they would be baptized they would not be buired in the graveyard. They would be buired in different places. There is a big height up above our house it is called the "sgeach". Babies were buired there. They would bury them in under the ground like an animal.
