This memorial was originally "plopped" in Prairie City Cemetery, Prairie City, McDonough County, Illinois, with a death date of November 12, 1860. The cemetery has no record of her burial and there is no logic for her to have been buried there.
Unless someone produces a family BIble with burial entries or a buried tombstone is unearthed, it is unlikely we will ever be able to prove her burial location. An educated guess would be that she was buried in King Cemetery where several of her children were later buried, but without proof this burial must remain unknown.∼The Macomb Journal, page 2
