This photo is of their marker.  It has a large horizontal cylinder on top with 

the letter "D" which does not show in the picture. They both have individual 

stones.  Joseph's stone shows that he was a Private in the 1st Wisconsin 

Cavalry, Civil War.  Melinda's stone contains only the word "Mother."

Additional Comments:
Joseph was born Charles Joseph Deloye on December 25, 1834 (not 1829 as 

indicated on the marker) according to his French birth record.  Melinda was 

the daughter of John Fadden and Mary Ann Nokes.  Her name is incorrectly 

spelled Melindia on the marker.
