obit states first wife Emma McCarty died 25 Dec 1913
Emma seems to have separated from her 1st husband Stephen Stifle, (1864-1949), after he was institutionalized for some reason, ca.1900.
Since there were children by both 1st and 2nd marriage it could be her grave wasn't marked because of disagreement over what last name to put on headstone.
