"The Collins family owned the land in Kentucky (I believe Barren, KY) where the caves were located in which Floyd Collins was trapped and died. It is possible that both Francis Marion Collins as well as his first wife, Polly Monroe, were buried on that property, but this is not known for sure. "

I am guessing that she died after giving birth to her last child, Marion Collins, in 1876. He is shown as 4 years of age in the Census of 1880 and Polly's husband, Francis Marion, has remarried (in 1878). She would have died in Kentucky in Logan County, I believe. I can find no official record of her death.

While it is unknown where she was buried, speculation could suggest her final disposition was arranged at Monroe cemetery, a cemetery in Logan county that is no longer, or barely existent.
