Large Marge Grave

When you enter the main gate of the cemetery, drive until you see the headstone of Boulter Davidson on the right. Turn 90 degrees to the left, and you will see a headstone that looks like the Washington Monument. Head in that direction. After passing four short-walled multi-person plots, continue about another 20 feet and you will see the flat markers for Large Marge (Alice Nunn) and her husband.
