Kate is buried in what was know as the county cemetery, it is now part of the Lewistown Cemetery. They have no idea who is buried where. There are a few markers in this section of the cemetery. We were there in September of 2010. They did have a card on her burial with Cemetery Lot 2, Block 194. Not sure exactly where that would be, somewhere within the photo I have attached to the memorial.
Certificate of Death shows age is 69 years, 5 months and 15 days, information provided by daugther Loli M. Barbee. Used this for birth date. Daughter of Rebecca Slye, England.

Death Sunday Mrs. K. Barbee
M. L. Woodman yesterday received some particulars of the death at Chico Springs at 3:30 Sunday of his sister, Mrs. Kate Barbee. The deceased was born near Jaynesville, Wisconsin, in 1856 and from there went to Nebraska, where she resided some years and was married to G. M. Barbee. They removed to Walla Walla, Washington, and 21 years ago came to this city to reside, and Mrs. Barbee had ever since made Lewistown and vicinity her home. She was quite widely known universally respected and was loved by all who knew her. She had been in failing health for some time and recently went to the Springs in the hope of improving her condition, but this was not realized. She was the mother of six children, Lola Barbee, resident at Great Falls; Florence Barbee, who was killed in a fall from a horse some eight years ago, and three sons living, two being at Gl't Edge and one in California.
Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made but it will be held in this city and the announcement will be made.
