Additional Comments:
The stone was so worn, I could only make out a few words,  so I only have a
plot shot.    (I understand if you don't want to include it).    In the
picture you can see Joseph's headstone - his Civil War marker -  the family
plot marker - Mary Ann's headstone (slightly pitched to one side).

The only location I have for the lot comes from a book of transcriptions by
Amilia Castle, where she lists it as lot 152.    I do not know if that's
her locator or the cemetery's.
