Notes
Burial
I have assumed that she is buried in the family plot with her husband Michael Newhall, in the Pine Grove Cemetery, with out a headstone. The plot layout clearly shows 5 plots with only 4 headstones.Note: She may have been buried at the asylum, but for now, I will leave her with her family till I find out otherwise.
Plot: G-14
