Sexton records of Evergreen have no indication of this burial.

From an undated-unnamed newspaper obituary clipping from 'The Paris Scrapbook' donated by Skipper Steely; 'On May 2nd, 1902, the soul of Ellen F. Tanner passed from the cloud lands of earth to the perfect light of heaven. She was a woman, fair and gentle, tender and kind, helpful, hopeful and brave; at peace with all the world and possessing that interior peace with God which passeth all understanding. Mrs. Tanner had made several visits to her daughter's southern home, and to those who discerned the fullness of her spirituality, her presence brought a benediction. For many weary years she had been an invalid and for many months bore with extreme patience the encroachments of weakness. The influence of her teachings and example while patiently suffering these afflictions, have been of special service to a large circle of friends whose hearts have been with the only child during the lingering illness of the mother; who have watched with her in spirit by the bedside through many weeks and who now feel with her that although extreme loneliness has fallen upon her afflicted soul, that the dawn of peace has come at last to one who waited so patiently and bravely for His coming. Mrs. Wright, Mrs. Tanner's only child, reached her mother's bedside in Leavenworth, Kansas, in time to spend the last twenty-four hours with her. 'Let the last words I hear on earth be those which I shall hear first in heaven,' she had said, and so they murmured to her softly, 'Hallelujah, salvation and honor and glory and power be to the Lord our God.' while the pure spirit took its flight homeward. After appropriate services at the church in Leavenworth, Mrs. Wright left with the remains for her home in Paris. Upon her arrival here she was met by many friends who conveyed the remains to the family residence, where were assembled many other sympathizing ones, who by their tender ministrations did much to bring comfort to the bereaved daughter. The funeral took place from the church of 'The Holy Cross,' which had been made beautiful with special decorations of palms, jasamines and draperies of white. The Rev. W. K. Lloyd conducted the services according to the impressive ritual of the Episcopal church, and the final resting place in Evergreen cemetery was completely hidden beneath masses of fragrant flowers.'
