A volunteer photographer searched the entire cemetery in 2012 and could not find a gravestone for Aletha or her husband. However, a descendant has since posted a photo of the gravestone that she took several years ago. She reports that the gravestone has fallen forward onto the ground. Its face is no longer readable in that position.
