Not buried in the same lot with her husband. He was buried 02 NOV 1884 in city 1-159 (Autry A-223, later sold to ELLEDGE). On 11 DEC 1884, his remains and a child's were reinterred to city C-550, where his grave is marked (Autry J-157). Sexton record shows she was born in Keysville, Burke County, Georgia [this may be place of death but placed in Place-of-Nativity column by mistake]; died aged 82 years (cause and place not given), and was buried 28 JUL 1951 in Section C, Lot 358. The sexton was C. W. YOUNG.

Index of Georgia Deaths, 1919--1998, shows: Virginia BURRUS, White female, died 28 JUL 1951, aged 82 years, in Burke County, Georgia, as a resident of Richmond County, Georgia, death certificate #15366

I think there might be a typo in her year of birth. She appears age 1 on 1870 Barbour Co., AL census and the GA death index indicates she's 82 when she dies in 1951. I think she was born 1869, but her age varies on all the census records when she's an adult.
