The exact section and block where this person was buried is no longer possible to photograph. In the late 1920s and into the 1930s Elmwood provided free graves for families that could not afford burials (so there were no grave markers). You had 30 years to "claim" your family member and rebury them in a regular grave plot.
Almost no one was claimed and reburied. So after 30 years they brought in more dirt and created new graves for purchase over the free graves. The section was given new lot and grave numbers that do not correspond to the old block and grave numbers. Therefore it will never be possible to provide anything other than general photographs of the current section.
