Her burial was reported to Mt. Zion Cemetery researcher, Margaret Tolar, by Lovic Emmons, an old time Turlington resident. He went through the cemetery and showed her were many of the unmarked graves were located and Phebe Parker was one of them. The Antioch Cemetery where her husband, Samuel Wells, is buried was not in use until 1877 and he was buried with his 2nd wife and their daughter's family, Ann Lee Wells Richardson.
