On Fri, Jan 13, 2023 at 3:52 PM Harder Funeral Home wrote: "Hi Dee, The cemetery can't find anyone by the name, but we think the cemetery made an error back in the 1930's. They gave a name of Robert Shelton Spencer who happened to be buried on the same day as Earl in a medium grave (child size), but they also had a person the day before who was named Robert Shelton who was buried in a full size grave. The gentleman at the cemetery thinks that they screwed up the name for the child grave , Earls, and accidentally put the same first name down 2 days in a row therefore Earl Louis Spencer in the Child’s grave and Robert Shelton in adults size grave. Earls burial was in the county section, that is a section that had people who could be buried with state assistance money. The area in Evergreen (aka Glen Oaks, Milwaukee, WI) is  Grave 47 , Row 127, Block 7 , Section 1.And most likely there would be no headstone on the site " Spencer-24565Harder Funeral Home employee
