The place of burial on the death certificate is extremely faded, but if you blow it up, the word "Maple" is (just barely) legible.

A few sidenotes:
When I set out to locate her grave nearly 15 years ago, I found that a homemade marker for "Sarah Ready" was on Kate's grave. Re-checking Maple Hill's records, I found that Ready was buried about 5 graves south of Kate. (Someone had apparently confused Kate (Sarah Head) with Sarah Ready. When Don Hale subsequently obtained a stone for Kate, Sarah Ready's marker was moved to its proper place.

The Ketterlin funeral home had a contract with the Jackson County Poor Farm (Where Kate died) to bury its deceased residents. Ketterlin also had a contract with Maple Hill Cemetery for burial plots. Most of the graves in the immediate area where Kate is buried lack markers -- not surprising when figuring in that it is the resting place for indigents who died during the depression.

Kate's last husband, Walter Head, died at the J.C.P.F. about a year after Kate, and is buried in an unmarked grave about 50 yards northeast of her.
