Utah Cemetery Name: Kezia D. Pratt Birth Date: 10 May 1812 Birth Place: RAINO CHESHIRE ENGLAND Death Date: 11 January 1877 Death Place: SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Burial Date: 11 January 1877 Cemetery: Salt Lake City Cemetery Source: Sexton Records Grave Location: B-11-1-ROD-SO
Yesterday I went again up to the Salt Lake Cemetery. I was concerned with the grave of the other wife buried there, Kezia Downs Pratt. The good news is that she actually has a grave location B-11-1-SROD. I went there and could not find a grave marker. I afterward went down to the Genealogy Library to research everything I could find about Eleanorthe sextons and library records her name was always spelled Kesia and her death date always confirmed as Jan 11, 1877 not 1876. I looked at all the death, burial and newspaper records in the library and could not find anything more specific on where Eleanor was buried. The next of kin is listed as Parley P. Pratt (never listed as his wife like Kesia was), the place of death is listed as Dr. Benedict, the cause of death was something like Apofilesy (I couldn), and the undertaker is listed as P.P. Pratt. There is nothing in the Deseret News about her death. Unless there is some journal somewhere telling of here death and burial we are at a dead end to find her exact burial spot.
