Thanks, that is interesting. The grave is marked as Wood, not Woods, but whomever planted the headstone might have gotten it wrong as well. There is a boulder of limonite (brown iron) in front of the marker. Since it is unlikely someone would have moved the rock to that spot it seems more likely that the burial party laid him to rest behind the rock, since it made a good marker and could be located later.
