Just posting whatever comes up while looking for Charlotte's death

(Findagrave.com)

This appears to be Stephen's grave and a C Wickens is alo attributed to it:

Unfortunately the headstone seems to have sunk so can't see all the insription.

If we can't find anything, have you considered posting a request on Rootsweb or the Oakland County, MI Genealogy Forum?

http://genforum.genealogy.com/mi/oakland/

The death must have occured between 1870 and the next census 1880

Thank you for looking and for that site DetEcTive had not seen it before !
