Amherst Town Clerk's Office has a record of her death but has no record of where she is buried. Wildwood Cemetery has no record of her burial there. Because her father is buried in South Amherst Cemetery, I believe she was buried there.

According to the librarian in the Special Collections Dept. of the Jones Library, Amherst: "It is possible that no record was kept of the internments that you can't find. According to James A Smith's "Families of Amherst, Massachusetts",: "One of the first genealogists to use the Amherst records for research was the Rev. Sylvester Nash of Essex, Ct who traveled to Amherst before 1853. He compiled and published a Nash Family Genealogy in 1853. His comment as to the records then available to him was that not much is known of the old families there ‘owing to the very defective records of that town.'"
