Let's explore what is known about the life of Lilly E Gray. Other versions of the legend along this same thread were that she was involved in Satan worship, or murdered by Satanists during a ritual. He was denounced by mainstream media at the time for being "the wickedest man in the world" as well as a Satanist.
There were others that suggested she was a follower of The Great Beast himself, Aleister Crowley. The most popular legend was that she was must have been murdered in some horrific fashion. In the years following her death, legends began to grow about the meaning behind the epitaph. Lilly's, on the other hand, only leaves people scratching their heads about what happened to this elderly lady who died almost 65 years ago, in 1958. Usually, epitaphs are a heartwarming tribute to the deceased. Whoa! Right?! This is not your average epitaph. That is until you get close enough to read what it says: Located on the far northeast edge of the cemetery in Plot X_1_169_4E, Lilly's red, flat granite headstone blends in with the surrounding headstones and is fairly unnoticeable. She must have had a really ornate eye-catching headstone, right? Not quite. The draw to Lilly's grave has nothing to do with who she was, and everything to do with the epitaph on her headstone. Since that first burial, there have been more than 124,000 people buried here.The Salt Lake City cemetery is also home to a few unusual legends such as Emo's Grave, Jean Baptiste, and Lilly Gray. The cemetery saw its first burial in September 1847, however it wasn't until January of 1851 when an ordinance was passed incorporating Salt Lake City, that the cemetery was officially organized. The Salt Lake City Cemetery, located in downtown Salt Lake is a 120-acre cemetery with over 9 1/2 miles of old, narrow roads. w/o 1st unknown McCLASKEY & 2nd Donald Dean ATKINSON. ĭ/o Paul & Fern Eleanora (BENNETT) BARNES.
