No marker exists for Mary aka Mollie. Never Married. Spent her life caring for and helping others. Lived Primarily with her brother CP Black and his wife Mary Elizabeth Garrison Black; helping raise their large family of 18 children.

Unmarked grave and info comes from William Maurice Black December 2013, age 88; her great nephew.

Family lore per William Black, December 2013, was that Molly was " not right in the head."

The story of her death by both Wilfred F Black and William Black was that Mollie was living and working in the old Tom Cole house on Mclean Road and some one told her that peace had been declared for WWI. "Mollie clapped her hands together and said 'oh good, now Willie can come home.' Right after this statement she fell over and died."

"Willie" was William Mont Black [son of CP Black] her nephew who was serving in WWI.
