This grave is marked by a headstone flush with grade, the lettering of which has broken away and become scattered; no other markings can clearly be made out. It appears that the central part of the headstone is for Celestia and two flanking portions are perhaps for infants? This grave is located in the southwest corner of the J. G. DAVIS lot, at the north end of Rows 4 & 5 of the Old Section (Section 1, per June Hanna's 1982 survey listing).
Died aged 28 years, so evidently born about 1882. Daughter of W. E. PYE. Married Edgar S. BROOKS (the first of his four wives, and probably kin to his third wife, Mrs. Indiana (PYE) VOSS); Alma Celestia is listed in his 1904 Columbus city directory household. She evidently died of complications from the birth of her daughter Johnnie Lee BROOKS, who was born 30 JUN 1909 and only lived a few hours.
