They were first cousins. Their fathers were brothers.

I just wanted to add that that may be a cenotaph rather than a tombstone/marker. Often, when families mostly died and were buried locally but they have some members who died and were buried in distant places, they will place a memorial marker for those family members near parents' or siblings' graves.

Actually they share a grave. They were very close - like sisters. Henrietta is my mother. Upon her death, Honey's husband (Anthony Gangi) offered his position in the dual grave he had previously purchased, because he decided to be cremated upon his own death.
