Elsie Dreyer was buried in an unmarked grave in the Marshall family plot on July 8, 1933. It is unclear as to what relation she was to the Marshall family. She was the last interment in the Marshall family plot.
The only markers on the Marshall family plot belong to three of Henry Marshall's children, all of whom died in childhood: William Henry Marshall, Oliver Marshall and Annabell Marshall.

Elsie was the first wife of Bertram Marshall Dreyer. Born Elsie Halliday Christie in Halifax, UK 1890, she firstly married in London 1916 to a Robert Tremayne Clemitson. She then bigamously married, under an assumed name Edith Walton, to Bertram Marshall Dreyer in London on the 26th July 1919. She was 29 and he 19 though both over or under estimated their ages during their time together. Her death record gives her father's name as Ernest J. Christie and mother as Marian (Mary Hannah) Christie which confirms her identity (and suggests Bertram knew the whole story). An interesting fact was her brother was the mass murderer John Reginald Halliday Christie of 10 Rillington Place fame.
