Inscription

(currently no marker)

Note: Her husband Rufus W. Stevens was moved from the "Old Flint City Cemetery" (where he had been buried originally) to the "Pioneer Section" of Avondale Cemetery. It is thought (and prayed) that his wife Caroline would have accompanied him during this reinterment.
