UPDATE: Information from Bob Lawrence, thank you Bob!
I can add that, according to her descendants, her name was Lillie Waldridge [Burba] Leasor and that she was born in Kentucky. The family name was originally Burbee but the spelling got changed to Burba when Lillie's ancestors moved from New York to Kentucky in the early 1800s. Even though the spelling was changed, the name continued to be pronounced "Burbee" at least until around World War II. Therefore, either of the spellings that you have would really be correct. I'm very distantly related to Lillie and wrote the book "Burba, Burby, Burbee, Descendants of Peter Burbee, Sr. (c1729-1778) And Others With These Surnames" published in 1994

This is a very old and overgrown cemetery at a crossroad where the Siberia, KY schoolhouse was located, Heying Road and Siberia Road(Hgy 1517). Now converted into a private residence, the owner told me a little of the history of the area and was very accurate in describing the locations of the 4 marked tombstones there. There is fence around the east, south and west sides, but none on the north - facing the highway - side.
The cemetery is above the road level by at least 6 feet and until last week only accessible by scrambling up the hill. In September 2004 the Larue County Highway Department cut a path and laid gravel to give access to the Siberia Cemetery. To find this cemetery - US31W between Glendale and Sonora, KY to Highway 1517-Siberia Road; this will take you east, it only goes one direction. Continue 2.5 miles and on the south side you will see a rise completely overgrown with brush and numerous large oak trees. This is the Siberia Cemetery. Entering on the path immediately to the right are 2 marked graves, Leasor & Leaser; diagonally across the cemetery boundary to the south-east corner are the Tharp graves. There is significant underbrush and brier, plus some poison ivy; no other marked stones were found, but at least 12 fieldstone markers were discovered and there are probably more.

The local resident, a Mrs. Hill, stated that the Leasor-Leaser family would come and clean the area and leave flowers and stated that these 2 graves were husband and wife; grandparents to them. But Mrs. Hill did not know which spelling was correct.
