  Burial Notes:

Plot: Row 31 C
Find A Grave Memorial# 28753353

It appears that her gravestone may have the wrong birth year on it: 1852 instead of 1853. Her married surname is also spelled with only one letter T whereas her husband's gravestone is spelled with two letter Ts.

The Pleasant View Cemetery is located west of Maple Street and south of Ontario Street in the southwest section of the village of Fayette. The older section of Pleasant View Cemetery was a family burial ground on land owned by John Gamber. By 1852 the site had been expanded to serve the local area. The first burial is difficult to determine as grave markers were moved to Pleasant View from abandoned cemeteries. The first burial may have been as early as 1836.
