Violin Annie - Elmwood Cemetery

Local legend says that Harriet Anne Marshall (Annie) was an accomplished violinist, and the daughter of a wealthy doctor. She became ill and died of diptheria, and at her grave her parents placed a statue of her playing the violin. It is said that cemetery visitors can hear the violin at night, although reports say that vandals have broken the bow off the statue.

      • Hi, my name is Brittany Misencik, I’m a reporter for the Centralia Morning Sentinel, the local newspaper in Centralia. I’m working on a series of Halloween stories and am writing one on Violin Annie. Could I give you our newsroom number to call for a quick interview?
