Marion E. Gazlay, died 28 June 1934 in Wakefield, Massachusetts. [Marion was an inmate at the Grafton State Hospital, Worcester County, in 1930 (per the US Census), and is buried in the Grafton State Hospital Memorial Cemetery (now called Hillcrest Cemetery). Her death is shown in FindaGrave as occurring in North Grafton, so her listing as having died in Wakefield, which is about 50 miles from Grafton, is puzzling. It is possible that she had a residence in Wakefield even when she was an inmate in Grafton, so her death was also reported in Wakefield.]
