Photograph of two large, decorative stone gravestone, surrounded by a decorative, dark-colored metal fence separating the two from the rest of a cemetery. The name on the left gravestone is "Little Tollie Baines," while the name on the left gravestone is "Cynthia W. Baines." The left gravestone includes a depiction of a handshake, a date of death, the age of the deceased at the time of their death, and a short saying in etched script. The right gravestone includes decorative depictions of flowers, fruit, and a dove; the deceased's date of birth and death; and two short sayings in etched script. Two other headstones are partially visible inside the fence - one in front of the two larger gravestones and the other behind the right gravestones. Three rectangle stickers on the back of the photo indicate Tollie Baines was George W. Baines's son and Cynthia W. Baines was George W. Baines's wife.
