The Burial Record for Mary says that she was buried in the Quarantine Cemetery (She died from "chronic diarrhea."). From what I have found so far, this cemetery is actually located in Oaksville, Missouri, and was part of the Koch Hospital. This location is about a 25 minute drive (14 miles South) from The Evil Society Hospital/The Female Hospital where Mary died.
The hospital and property were purchased by a mining company, I believe, in the 1980's and the buildings were torn down. It's been said the records for the cemetery were destroyed in a fire. Between 18,000-25,000 people are said to have been buried in this cemetery. Few had headstones. Sounds like most were buried in mass graves, and many in sink holes.
It is likely this is the cemetery Mary was buried in. But due to the above facts, it would be impossible to know exactly where she was buried.
