Ref: to the SEN. on the headstone standing for Sr. Not Senator. I email the State Library and got this answer.
Good morning,
Thank you for your question regarding Mr. Clipfell.
No one named Clipfell has served in the Michigan legislature. The name does not appear in the database at http://politicalgraveyard.com either. While there may be omission from this database, it does cover all of the states and individuals from many years. Clipfell does not appear in the Congressional Biographical Directory database at http://bioguide.congress.gov/biosearch/biosearch.asp either.
Your conclusion that Sen. means senior may have merit.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Janice Murphy
