From the "Attractions in Taylorville, Illinois" website:
Kay, the matriarch of the Carson and Barnes Circus elephant herd, died in Taylorville, Illinois in 1994 in the middle of a tour at age 58. The cause of death was a urinary infection. For decades, Kay basked in the limelight, visiting the small towns of America.
A local veterinarian who had attended Kay in her last hours volunteered his farm as a burial site. A granite headstone there pays tribute to the beloved elephant.
