Philinda's name has two headstones in two different cemeteries. I believe she is at the Charleston Cemetery in Lorain in which I am the caretaker of. Another headstone is in the Cleveland Street Cemetery in Amherst with her siblings.
It is believed that her name was added to the Cleveland St marker to acknowledge her as part of their family. There are no records of burials at the Charleston cemetery outside of what headstones I have physically dug up and researched.
