Abraham and Dolly's infant children

From a letter from my grandmother:

Dear Terri,
. . .I called Lois (daughter of Abraham and Dolly's daughter, Doris Cunningham) and she said Ralph was a small son of my grandfather Abraham and Dolly Bertha (Rhody Umiker). He died as a small child. . .
Lois said some of Grandma and Grandfather's children was buried at Spirit Lake. I don't know if the Mt. covered the cemetery or not. . .

An e-mail from Lois forwarded to me by my grandmother:

. . . Grandma Umiker had 4 babies that died.
They were--Ralph born Dec. 20, 1905--died Mar. 20, 1906
Vallie--born April 24, 1909--died Oct. 9, 1909
Henry--born Jan. 16, 1913--died Mar. 21,1914
and Aaron you already have. If TerriLyn has any more questions--give her my e-mail address. . .

Author's note: In spite of repeated e-mail's nobody seems to know anything about Aaron.
