Clara noted in her family records that she had lost 3 children as infants.
In checking with Taber Town Records, Cemetery Dept., it was noted that there are 4 infant burials
Block 12, Plot 4, Row D - Quaife, Delphine Lar (infant)- rec # 702, Aug. 31, 1929
Block 12, Plot 4, Row D - Quaife, Infant- rec # 722 May 4, 1930

Block 12, Plot 3, Row D - Quaife, Sophournia (Infant) - rec. # 935, Aug. 18, 1937
Block 12, Plot 3, Row D - Quaife, Veronica (Infant) - rec. # 959, Aug. 14, 1938 .
It is very probable that these 4 infants are Clara/Charles A. Quaifes.
There are no markers, but I have a map of this cemetery and took a photo of the blank space that is believed to be where the graves were. (2002 hw)
