Find a Grave burial-place lead: Elm Street Cemetery, Braintree
The Find a Grave memorial for John Gurney (no. 252975617) places his burial at Elm Street Cemetery, Braintree, Norfolk County, Massachusetts — a specific burial ground not previously named in this file, the identity case file, or any other source consulted. Braintree's own burial ground and town vital records have not yet been searched specifically for a Gurney stone or plot there, so the attribution stands as a citation-worthy lead rather than a confirmed fact.
