The obituary states Martin was buried at Fullerton. It appears he was either moved to be by his wife when she died and was buried at Duncan or that he appears on her stone in Duncan as a memorial.

Further suggestion by Franklin Shemek (47129472) • .
My great-uncle Marcin Siemek, was buried in St Peter Catholic cemetery, but after his wife passed, the family had his remains moved to St Stanislaus Cemetery, in Duncan to be next to his wife. This did not work as planned, as someone else was buried next to her so Martin is buried one grave over.
