The Rochester Orphan Asylum plot at Mt Hope Cemetery. There are some marked graves, but many unknown children are buried there. A horrible fire killed 29 people at the asylum in 1901.

Very disturbing. You have probably heard about the unmarked graves of residential school children recently discovered in Canada.
