Note the photo of Phillip's grave stone came from the CSU archives. The stone which was laying flat when the photo was taken is presumed to be buried under a few inches of soil just below the ground at the cody plot. The other stones that I have photoed were also found in this state, the Cemetery Foundation is just a few years old and is restoring years of neglect the cemetery has suffered over the last 25 years.
