Lilly E. Gray

.
1881-1958

Handily one of the most enigmatic of all burials in the Salt Lake City Cemetery is that of Lilly Gray.  Amid all of the burials reads one stone:

Lilly E. Gray
June 6, 1881-Nov. 14, 1958
Victim of the Beast 666

Naturally, this has made Lilly and her gravesite a favorite among any student of the cemetery as well as afficianados of the mysterious and paranormal.

Why does Mrs. Gray's stone read the way it does?  Was she a victim? or a prankster?  And what is the significance of the June 6th (6/6) date? Speculation has run rampant.  Typical of the discussion is http://paranormalstories.blogspot.com/2006/11/victim-of-beast-666.html

Those wishing to pay your respects to Lilly may do so in plot X-1 of the cemetery.




Those of you who want the most likely answer for the sinister inscription are wise to read Richelle Hawks research:
