so there's a cemetery in a movie theater parking lot? what's so special about it or the people buried there that kept it from being paved over? -- stubblyhead | T/c 18:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Its a geography stub. It doesn't have to be any more special than your hometown. Thats what the New Jersey Geography Wikiproject is for.
Ohhhhhhhh! sorry. My apologies. It was part of the pact to develop the land that was her home. They knocked down the home, but kept the grave in the back in the grass. The land became a Flea Market for about 20 years, and that was finally sold to Sony for the theater. They regraded the land in the back for a new parking lot and the grave ended up 7 feet above the lot in the middle of the new parking lot.
There is an unsubstantiated rumor from Callinectes of panoramio.com that Mary Ellis served as the inspiration for the 1972 pop song "Brandy" written by Elliot Lurie and recorded by the band Looking Glass. perhaps a bit far fetched, also General Anthony Walton White (1750-1803) is sited in his entry as buried in the grounds of Christ Church Episcopal Churchyard in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

I just found this page whilst skimming articles. I believe there was a Weird New Jersey book a few years back, which tells the whole story in considerably more detail than what is found here. My copy is in storage, so I can't help you out right now.RadioKAOS (talk) 14:56, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
The rumor of the Looking Glass song Brandy being based on this tale is untrue. Elliot Lurie, lead guitarist and writer/singer of the song, said in an interview that the lyrics were loosely based on a girl he knew in real life, and while the stories may be similar, the song has nothing to do with Mary Ellis.

All of the dates of Mary Ellis' death in this article are inconsistent and confusing:
Can someone who knows the actual accurate date please fix all of these inconsistencies ... or, at least, explain them within the article? Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 19:20, 8 June 2011 (UTC))
What the heck is the purpose of this section and its subsections on birth order and death order? I cannot for the life of me understand what these are doing here, and will delete the whole section barring an explanation that makes sense. Unschool 22:46, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
I'm wondering if this article needs to be called Mary Ellis Grave or grave. I'm unfamiliar with the American ways of english so could someone please tell me which one is better?
