Nellie Louise Vaughn died March 31, 1889, at the age of 19. Nellie died of pneumonia, not tuberculosis, a disease that is commonly linked with New England vampire cases. While Nellie's body was exhumed several months after her death, it was in order to move her from the family farm (located on Robin Hollow Road) to the new cemetery at Plain Meeting House Road, not to prevent her from inflicting illness upon her living relatives. In fact, Nellie's death was apparently an isolated event—none of her immediate family died within a decade of her passing. Nellie's seemingly ominous epitaph—"I Am Waiting and Watching For You"—is nothing more than a fairly common sentiment for the time, probably chosen by her parents to eulogize a beloved child who died too young, and who was waiting for her family in Heaven. It's highly probable that the lack of vegetation on Nellie's grave was attributable, not to supernatural forces, but to the number of souvenir hunters who trooped through and took away a bit of earth.
