Wilhelmina "Bess" Rahner was bettet known to the world as Mrs. Harry Houdini. After her husband's death, she held an annual seance on Halloween, the anniversary of his death. Although Houdini wanted his wife buried beside him in Macpelah Cemetery (a flat marker with her name & date of birth can be seen in front of the family monument), the cemetery would not permit the burial of someone not of the Jewish faith. Instead, she is buried in Valhalla's Gate of Heaven Cemetery.
