This is the site of the original Coralville cemetery. In 1908, all of the burials were moved to the present site across the street (Oak Hill), except one. Coralville pioneer and Mayor, John Davis, would not allow the city permission to move his wife's grave. Therefore, she is the only burial left at the original site. It is now on the site of River Products Co.

In a 2001 interview, Deb Tisor, the senior administrative assistant at River Products, said that the company knew Anna was buried there when they built their office building on the site in 1999. Tisor said that they would continue to honor, and respect the memory and gravesite of Anna. The company turned her gravesite into a little park area, erecting a low metal fence around the grave, complete with wrought iron crosses constructed by a Sharon Center artisan. They also installed a small wooden bench at the corner of her grave.

To visit the gravesite, go to the main office building, and take the trail on the left hand side of the building all the way down to the end. That is where you will find Anna Davis.
