This is our best guess as to the identity of "Charlie". The back of the headstone is mostly illegible but if you look at the lettering across the top it looks like M A ? E R S. (As we looked at it further, it looks like the Y might be a footed Y.) Cross referencing it against burial logs we located Charles Mayers in approximately the right location and from the right time frame. Since there were no other headstones with that name on it, we feel like we have the right Charlie. Unfortunately the grave number marker could not be located so we can't PROVE this is Charlie Mayers but we are hoping that by putting a last name on him a family member might find him and verify his identity for us.
