Queen of the Gypsies, Kelly Mitchell, died near Meridian, MS in 1915, while giving birth to her 15th child at the age of 47. Her husband Emil, King of the Gypsy Nation, her successor, Flora, and numerous other Gypsies have been buried alongside her. It was estimated that more than 20,000 people viewed the body of the dead Gypsy Queen after it was brought to Meridian. Members of the Mitchell tribe, one of the largest in the country, came here from all parts of the United States to pay tribute. Today, many visitors leave trinkets at the resting place of Queen Kelly. The offerings are left in hopes of enticing Mitchell’s spirit to visit them in a dream and provide answers to their problems. #projectlife365 #dangerous #gypsies #queenofthegypsies #kellymitchell #rosehillcemetery #mississippi (at Rose Hill Cemetery)
