The body of a young girl who died around the year 1870 was found under a garage of a San Francisco home on May 9.
Garden of Innocence (GOI), an organization which arranges burials of unidentified children, said on Facebook that the coffin was found by contractors when a homeowner was having her garage floor torn up.
The young girl was found comfortably laid in a coffin manufactured in 1858 of solid lead and lined with bronze and purple velvet. Since there was no headstone, the identity of the girl is unknown, but the homeowner’s daughters ended up naming the young girl Miranda, which means worthy of admiration and wonderful.
