Per cemetery records July 8, 2019 checking on this memorial because of an edit for Joe Madison I found out that none of the three on the stone are buried in the cemetery. This and the others are a cenotaph only.

Provided by another contributor. Their suggestion:-----------Just a little more information:

Name: Joseph Madison Side: Union
Regiment State/Origin: Michigan
Regiment: 7th Regiment, Michigan Cavalry
Company: K Rank In: Private Rank Out: Sergeant
Alternate Name: Joseph D./Madison
Film Number: M545 roll 25

Year: 1860; Census Place: Mackinac Island, Mackinac, Michigan; Roll: M653_542; Page: 989; Family History Library Film: 803542.
William Madison 52 England Merchant
Matilda Madison 48 NY
Ella Madison 19 NY
Joseph Madison 15 NY

Another suggestion July 2019:
Suggested edit: There is also a gravestone for Joseph D. Madison on Mackinac Island in Michigan. Possibly he and his brother are truly buried there but notated on this stone as well. I have photos if you would like to include them on this page. I am not a family member but we noted the gravestone because Joe served in the same Company in the Civil War as my ancestor.
Photos sent to me via e mail of the stone to be placed on this memorial by another contributor where he is actually buried at.

This means more research is necessary. Need to check with the cemetery office to see if he is actually buried there. That phone call July 8, 2019 confirmed that neither of the three are actually buried in Hazelwood Cemetery. This needs to be marked as a cenotaph.
