She is listed as Baby Galley.She died on 6 July 1890.
The location of her grave is OLD 3/01/022/0009
She was the first child born to William and Mary Ann (Wharton) Galley.

Hi Elaine,

I just sent you an email but realized I used a different address than the one I have posted here so it may have gone to your junk mail.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Elaine,

I'm sad to say that I struck out while looking for your Great Aunt's grave at Mountainview this afternoon. There was quite a large area in her section that did not seem to have any markers at all so I'm wondering if perhaps her grave is unmarked. I don't give up easily so I will go back in few weeks (might be a month though) and take another peek.

While looking around her area I noticed that there weren't too many markers from the late 1800s (most from 1910 onwards). Those that were from the 1800s were heavily weathered and some were not readable. Again, I don't give up easily so I will head back out when the weather is nicer for me to look around more.

I hope you enjoy your weekend :)

Christina

Don't know if the Cemetery ever had wooden markers - if they did - and were not replaced - may no longer exist.
