She was buried at what was known as "Matt Gay Place," in Woodford county, and it was always her husbands' intention to have her remains removed to "Glenwillis" for re-interment. With that intention he had erected very near the spot where his own remains now repose a beautiful and expensive monument for the perpetuation of her memory.
The inscription is in these words :
Anna Maria Marshall,
Second daughter of Col. Thomas Marshall, was born the 29th of September, 1759; intermarried with Humphrey Marshall the 18th of September, 1784, and, dying on the 28th of September, 1824, left two sons, her husband, and many friends, to deplore the loss.
To domestic circles she looked for temporal enjoyments; to a Savior and Heaven for eternal happiness.
Her person perfect; her features comely ; her mind of the highest order of human intellect; her heart the seat of every virtue.
A high sense of her duties in life, and great fidelity in discharging them were the characteristic traits of her to whose memory this column is erected by her husband. September, 1834.
The remains of Mrs. Marshall were never removed to this spot, but still rest where they were first laid; and no stone of any description has ever been erected to mark the spot where repose the ashes of Humphrey Marshall, who was intrinsically one of the greatest men, in every attribute of true greatness, ever produced in this or any other country, by this or any other age.
Neglected alike by friend and foe, by kith and stranger, his lonely grave, now without enclosure, is trampled level with the surrounding plain by the tread or cattle that roam at will above it. A few more years and the exact location of the grave will be forever lost and forgotten. .
