Not proven she is buried in this cemetery, but seems likely as we were given a deed for the Horn family burial at Spring Creek cemetery - dated 1899. The courthouse had a map of plots dated 1891 with owners. William Horn is listed as one. Tried to see if a burial without luck as there is large and thick grove of lilacs. Four of William and Isabelle Bain Horn's children (William J., Richard, Ellen Mae, and James Winifred) died before 1900 and are most likely buried in this plot as the family farm was nearby.
