There are three children commemorated on the Keating Dollhouse itself, but there are eight children buried there. Many people have asked about the cause of death of the children. A recent search of the University of Cincinnati Library’s Cincinnati birth and death records collection, 1865-1912, yielded some useful information. The records are accessible here. This database includes the death records for six of the eight children buried at the Keating Dollhouse.
