Two further suggestions on this: 1. In some Orthodox Jewish cemeteries even as late as the 1930s, men and women, even if married to each other, were never buried next to each other, because on the other side of the husband might be buried a man to whom the woman was not married. This "immorality" was avoided by having one row of graves for men and another row for women. And, as mentioned earlier, it was the custom not to buy specific plots in advance, but to fill the rows chronologically by burial date. 2. The sale of cemetery plots may be part of the fundraising effort for some churches. The widow may have changed churches (liked the minister better, or perhaps went to live with one of her children) and been sold a plot by a go-getter at the new church.
