Cemetery records show the large stone with Charles & Susan Tann in Block 27, Lot 5, Sub-lot 3. BUT they are actually buried behind and left of the large stone (see photo's). Beside and north of the stone are two graves for children Sarah & Harry Setz. Behind their graves are two flat but slightly raised stones marked "Mother" and "Father". This is actually where Charles and Susan are buried.
