Mary Gray Kelsey is buried next to her husband,Gamaliel Kelsey.Her grave,pictured here,is marked by flower pedal that mysteriously appeared the day I traveled all the way from Vermont specifically hoping to find her grave .I believe that because her inscription had weathered to the point that it is hard to read that Mary's spirit left the pedal to indicate that this was indeed her grave stone.
