Add PhotosInterestingly, there was a newspaper article stating that one of Edmund's heirs believed that, in 1892, the company which later developed the land had "unlawfully and secretly disinterred" the bodies of Edmund and Mary, and removed them to Cave Hill Cemetery, "where they were interred along with the remains of a stranger."
In fact, Cave Hill Cemetery does show that Edmund and Mary Sale had a "service" there on July 12, 1892. Cave Hill's records show that Edmund and Mary are in the same grave (section A, lot 126, grave 33). When visiting that area of Cave Hill, there are no headstones for Edmund and Mary so, if they were re-buried there, it may, in fact, have been "secretly," since no one put up a headstone.
Whether they are still in the family cemetery or actually at Cave Hill is a mystery. Even though they are listed on Find A Grave in Cave Hill Cemetery (although Edmund is listed as Edmond, and Mary's date of death is listed as 1892, which was not her date of death, but her date of possible re-burial) (Edmond Sale #130692639, Mary Sale #130692805), the Sale Cemetery does still exist and it was at least Mary's original burial place.
