I do not know how to access this ledger for the information of her burial.
Any help gratefully appreciated.

Those were the listings given on find a grave. Presumably the contributor couldn't get hold of them but made a note. Probably Denver Public Library would be your best bet. If or when it opens.

Morning, I am going to contact the Denver Public Library ,Archives Dept, and see if they will scan & send me a copy of her Obit, which they have listed .....if & when it comes,I will share with you.
If you are also extending your research to the McLeod's..are you aware that Murdock Mcleod 1884 -1983 had a son named Archibald born c Nov 1910 in Erickson by his 1st marriage to an Etta O'Brien, (cannot find anything on her yet)
This same Archibald L McLeod was the death informant for Jessie H (McLeod) Harrison when she died in 1963 Victoria BC.
One other note John McLeod c 1840-1917 he did not have the 2nd name Sailor.
Someone somewhere along the line mistook his occupation (Sailor) as a 2nd name and everyone else just copied, which is a big problem these days with researchers.
Thanks for reaching back out to me
Cheers for now Ann

WOW...Thank you.I always appreciate it when unknown bits of info can be tied up.
I have been assisting a family member...his 2nd great grandmother was Catherine Effie 1886-1980 and she was the sister a bit younger than Murdock 1884-1983.
My connection is to this fellow is through his grandmothers, mother in law...whew... I think I have it right.
Thanks for the links and Cheers to you

If anyone is able to get a copy of Sarah A. Grexton's obit
It was published in 3 papers in Denver Colorado:
Grexton, Sarah Mrs.13 Mar 1923 P12 RMN
Grexton, Sarah Mrs. 13 Mar 1923 P21 DP
Grexton, Sarah Mrs. 14 Mar 1923 P18 RMN
Sarah died Sunday 11 March 1923. There doesn't appear an obit for Sarah, just funeral notice & permit notice.
In The Denver Post for 12 March 1923 pg. 16, there is a funeral notice.
In The Denver Post for 13 March 1923 pg. 21, there is a burial permit notice.
I checked the papers from 11 Mar. - 15 Mar. 1923 and found no other mention of her on the death/obituary page.
