See Hester's father's Find A Grave page for an explanation for the spelling of her maiden name.
The M. initial on Hester's gravestone is in reference to her maiden name of McArthur and not her middle name since her middle name was Ellen.
I have seen this happen every once in a while in my years of work on FAG studying gravestones. Some women, or their family, choose to have the maiden name of the woman who died put onto the gravestone where the middle name would go and you have to do a bit of research to make certain if that really actually was their middle name or their maiden name.
