Unmarked Grave
Audrey Munson died in 1996. She was 105 years old. She had been committed to the Ogdensburg Psychiatric Institution in 1931 for what now are largely treatable diseases of depression and schizophrenia. Her parents divorced when Audrey was very young. After her parents died (Edgar is her father) she had no visitors for several decades before being rediscovered by a niece. Audrey Munson is buried in an unmarked grave in her father's plot in the New Haven, NY cemetery.
The Mexico Historical Society is collecting money to buy a headstone for Audrey Munson. I just received their latest newsletter today with the information in it, "which will be used to make a headstone at her grave-site in New Haven"
