Mary Steele Barrow died November 16, 1853, at 15 minutes after 3:00pm, according to Andrew Jackson's "Barrow Family Records" in the Unity Church Record book, and was buried at the Barrow Family cemetery, near Campbell Hill, Illinois. The grave markers at this cemetery were later removed to the Calvary Cemetery in Campbell Hill, though the bodies probably still lie in their original graves, now unmarked, and on private land. The date of death on Mary's grave marker is unclear, but it appears to read November 16. Other sources give it as November 10.
