Hi Carol, Doesn't appear as though Martha Ann Cook was buried at New Norfolk. She doesn't appear in the Old New Norfolk Cemetery book I have nor Stephens St (St Matthews). A possibility she was buried in one of the Methodist cemeteries in New Norfolk but more likely she's somewhere close to her husband...
