Anna Finley was laid to rest in the Jones I.O.O.F. Cemetery, which is located at the intersection of E. Wilshire and Hiwassee Roads. This is a beautiful cemetery which is well maintained.
This is a gray granite headstone, with a vertical block resting on a horizontal base. Though it appears to be constructed as a double marker, hers is the only name inscribed. Her surname is engraved in large letters at the top center with her first name and dates in a smaller panel at the lower left. The inscription reads:
