She was the first female police judge in Paris and was the first woman to become a municipal judge south of the Mason-Dixon line. The grave is marked by a tall pink granite stone which adjoins the Croxton lot. The cemetery continues to operate as a nonprofit corporation as set forth in the 1847 by-laws, overseen by an appointed Board of Directors. It is funded by grave sales and interments and interest from endowment and perpetual care funds.
Income is expended solely for operation of the cemetery.
