I am the great-granddaughter of Anna Brower Sturtz (maiden name: Rampton) and am looking for information about where she is buried and what her exact date of death was. Anna was born on April 4, 1867 and died at the age of 79 (per the obituary in the newspaper), which would be sometime in 1946 (after Apr. 4th) or in 1947 (sometime before Apr. 4th). No exact date of death was given in the obituary. She was married to my great-grandfather Daniel Albert Sturtz who died on March 11, 1919 and he is buried in the Dysart Cemetery (for which I have a photo of his gravemarker there). Anna's obituary states that she was buried in the Dysart Cemetery (where her husband Daniel is buried), but I cannot find any record of her being buried there. Is it possible she is buried in his burial plot without a marker or perhaps close by? Anna's parents, Anthony Rampton and Phoebe (Van Winkle) Rampton, are buried in the Rampton Cemetery in Dysart, so is it possible Anna may in fact also be buried there and not the Dysart Cemetery?

I have truly run into a dead end on my search, and I would greatly appreciate any information anyone could provide about my great-grandmother Anna Brower Rampton Sturtz.

Thank you very much!
