Grave of Lilly Gray
The headstone of Lilly E. Gray, located in the far northeast of the cemetery, has long attracted attention and visitors from all over America, on account of its unusual inscription:

Lilly E. Gray / June 6, 1881 – November 14, 1958 / Victim of the Beast 666

Little is known of Lilly Gray's life beyond basic records. On July 10, 1952, she married Elmer Gray, a serial felon who had served time in the Missouri State Prison, the Oklahoma State Prison, the Colorado State Prison, and, for eleven years, in the Utah State Prison. Lilly and Elmer were 72 and 71 respectively. Lilly died in 1958 of natural causes with no indication of foul play. The reason for the inscription is not known, but her husband had shown some indications of possible paranoia, and presumably ordered the headstone. But much amateur speculation has surrounded the grave, and rumors and legends of paranormal or Satanic associations have circulated.
