After 125 years, the unmarked graves of two indigenous brothers, Charles Edward Jones and Harry Jefferson Jones, were finally given headstones. Charles and Harry died in 1900 at the ages of 15 and 11, respectively, as a result of brutal, unsanitary conditions at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania.
