Phoebe and her son Charles Henry were buried in the first Pioneer Cemetery in the Fremont area. She was among the first, if not the first to die here. The site of her burial is now covered by concrete and is within the Hormel Foods plant complex in Fremont. She is buried there with infant son Charles Henry McNeal.
The marker, the brass plate, is attached to a steel beam in the ground along the side of the street, on South Platte Ave. where it curves to become Factory Street. It is about 500 feet west of the actual grave site.
I know that some graves were moved from a later pioneer cemetery in Fremont but apparently that was not the case with Phoebe. Seems like there should be some greater level of respect for the mother of the first non-native children in the county but there was some respect shown in leaving her there and a least establishing a marker. The original marker was made of wood, at a later date someone put up the metal marker. I don't know who set the marker or when.
