A Mason County woman is asking for help in finding the owner of a mysterious picture. The picture turned up in her first grade son’s backpack before Thanksgiving but they have no idea who it belongs too.
Natalie Downs, of Mayslick, said the picture is from April of 2001, and shows a small child’s burial site. She questioned her son and the staff at Straub Elementary School about the picture, but no one seems to know where it came from, or who it belongs to. Downs said the grave marker is from a local funeral home. As to why she is trying to find the picture’s owner? Downs said she feels a strong connection to the picture, because she too has lost a young child.

“We lost a child due to a placental abruption a year ago, I was 34-weeks pregnant so we actually had to bury our own child. I know how precious these photos are to members of the community, which I unluckily got to be part of last year,” explained Natalie Downs.
Downs said she has also taken the picture and searched for any clues at area cemeteries. Her next plan of action is to look at statewide obituaries from 2001. If you have any information about the picture you are asked to call Downs, her cell number is (606) 584-5955.
