Update 4/6/2022: Today I received the "Farlow Burial Index Records" from The Dover Museum in New London and she is indeed buried here!!!
There is no stone only for the two children.

Wife of John A. Boak. Mother to Isaac T. and Maria O. also buried here. Additional son named John Boak born in 1850 in New London, Iowa. Unaware of Mary Ann's maiden name at this time.

As stated in the 1850 Census Mary is noted to have been born in Ohio and is age 27. She and her husband John are living in New London, Iowa. His occupation is that of Farmer and Landlord, he is age 39. Their infant son (John) is one month. Also living here are 10 boarders with most noted to be "stage coach drivers" or farmers. I do believe she is buried here as well .......since her two infant children and husband are here as well.

Mary and John's son, John A. married a Marinda Horsey and they were living in New London in the 1880 and 1885 census. In the 1895 Directory of Minneapolis Marinda is listed as "widow:" of John A. I am unsure of his death or where he might be buried. Mary and John's children are Annie, Robert, Ross and Andrew. Robert and Annie are also listed in this Minneapolis Directory.
