Undeterred by being unable to find Jessie in Pune, we decided to have a look at the now privately owned Christian Cemetery in Mahabaleshwar - just in case. After a visit to the cemetery's owner at his hotel we obtained permission and the keys to the cemetery. The cemetery was small, about 1/2 acre, well maintained, and sadly did not contain Jessie's grave or any other missionaries from the PIVM.
The question then is - where were these missionaries buried? There is one other cemetery in Pune, near Dhobi Ghat that we did not get a look in. All the other cemeteries contain war graves from the time of the British Raj.
