The headstone marker shown is not for Abel Monroe Harper. It is for his 3 year old son, Frank Reed Harper. We were unable to locate a marker for Abel which leads me to believe that his wife Isabelle did not have the funds to purchase one at the time of his death.
Carol Harper Nalepa, great granddaughter of Abel.
