Not many headstones in this, the older sections of the cemetery. Most are very ornate and large crypts and mausoleums. This zinc marker was stumbled upon. The cemetery is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and it is hard to take it all in on just one visit. The stext on the marker states

Susanna W. Grunewald Wife of Wm. Kurten
Born Apr.16, 1839
Died Dec. 2, 1884.
Also an anchor is on one side panel.
