Not positive of her burial site but Oak Hill is the most likely place or possibly on the Almshouse grounds. Frank Blessing Downs, her son, is registered as a WWI draftee, born 02 Jan 1890. In the family bible death record attached here, her last name is written in with pencil as (Gardene?) which makes very little sense.
