This marker is for Gustavus A. Cone in Butteville Pioneer Cemetery. It features a masonic emblem above his name, and the name of his son Lewis on one of the other sides. Most of the zinc headstones in this cemetery appear to be from the Cone family.
I wasn't sure that I would recognize one of these markers, but they actually are quite distinctive. Also impressive is that they hold up so well. All of the carved headstones in the cemetery are worn and some are difficult to read, but the zinc markers still look new.
