Her husband has a substantial obelisk in Cedar Hill, pictured with his 
   Find a Grave Memorial, #88277481.  Presumably, Sallie is buried with 
   him, and her name should have been engraved on a different face of 
   the obelisk, which sets at 45° to the row. 

Her father is buried in the same lot.  There is no indication he had a 
   middle name; "Burton" in the text seems to have been a large typo. 

He appears in the 1900 Census in Smithfield, widowed, one of two cabinetmakers 
   boarding with undertaker William Rouse.  In 1860, he was a merchant in 
   Smithfield. 

Her parents m. 18 Oct 1865 in Isle of Wight Co. 

Her son Peple McGuire BURTONS Sr. is buried there also - Block G, Lot 93.
