Hannah was most likely buried in the Wisner (also known as Baptist or Main Street) Cemetery in Elmira where other family members were buried. A survey was conducted in 1875 in preparation for the removal of bodies the following year to create a park. If she had a legible memorial, it was not recorded, and any transition of unknown burials may have been lost. Skeletal remains were found at the cemetery on several occasions during the twentieth century when utility lines were being installed, and street and sidewalk improvements were made.
