Tombstone(less) Tuesday: Lucy Martha Turner (nee. Surpluss, 1874-1933)

I continue my crusade of showing the graves of ancestors and relatives who have been interred without markers this week with my great-grandaunt Lucy (Surpluss) Turner, at Rose Hills Memorial Park, Whittier, Los Angeles County, California, plot Sunset Lawn, Section 2, Lot 547, Grave 1.

I am not sure how come this bothers me so much.  It is quite possible she didn't want a marker.  I don't know.
