I checked the cemetery and this is what is there.

From 10th street it is a right hand turn (west) along the cemetery edge. Take the second left then the first right until you reach a pair of twin evergreen trees on the right hand side of the road. Here is a large family stone labeled "Kelly" in gray granite. In front of the family stone (the graves face east, so east of the family stone are a group of matching stones the appear left to right as follows:

James Kelly (this is an older white sandstone marker, I think probably a child - the stone doesn't match the rest) son of Franklin and L___? Died July 25, ___? Age ___? ; (remaining stones in this group match, they are grey granite with out a border)
