Elizabeth "Betsey" Osmun married Daniel Sheldon, September 18, 1831, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Her death date has been estimated; she died sometime between 1850 and 1860.

By January 16, 1882, final plans to move the dead from the Axtell Street Cemetery to the newly established Harvard Grove facility were in place. Between that date and the end of February the morbid task of transferring over 3,000 coffins, including five Revolutionary War veterans, from graves with headstones was completed. Presumably, those in unmarked graves are left undisturbed in their abandoned Axtell Street plots. Betsey (Osmun) Sheldon is probably one of those left undisturbed in an unmarked grave, but proof is lacking.
