The exact place and time of Diana's death is unknown. Via the obituary of her son, James A., we know she died from 1842 to 1844.

In terms of cemetery selection, while unknown, this cemetery based on it's history seems likely. Her daughter Adaline married Solomon Wilkinson, Jr. in Sept 1841 in Miami, IN. Below is an excerpt regarding cemeteries in the this area.

"Jefferson Township

As narrated in Chapter VIII, the first person to die in Jefferson township was Solomon Wilkinson, who was buried just west of the Town of Mexico. That was the beginning of the Mexico cemetery. Other members of the Wilkinson family were among the early burials here. What is known as the Walling graveyard was established in the southwestern part of the township as early as 1836. Mrs. Burrell Daniels, whose husband built the first gristmill in the township, was buried here. This graveyard was abandoned as a burial place many years ago and the few graves there are now hardly distinguishable."
