I love finding details like this in newspaper databases!
Technically, the FindAGrave terms of service discourage people from uploading obituaries, but I'm always grateful when people do in these cases. When I find them, I try to document them with a source citation and transcription on WikiTree.
Yes, when I've seen these before I try to find the actual newspaper so it can be properly cited. I'm still searching for which paper this one appeared in but it was such a WTF stone inscription without that context lol
What a gem full of information!! I love this story. Those revelations are few but so welcome when they happen.

It's almost as if they didn't think about us needing to cite the sources when they made those stones!
Great story and well written! Thank you for sharing.
Very cool story, it always seems to start with a curiosity, doesn't it. Like that itch you can't quite scratch. Well done!
