I have found more information that came from the original Cemetery Register on "STEVE."
About: *Ernest STEIVE, died 26 Aug 1888.*
Notation on Ernest says; "Child of Gus", "Died of Cholera"
About: *Frank STEVE, died 22 May1892, age 2 yrs 10 mos.*
Notation on Frank says; "Born in St. Paul", "Died of Pleurasey"
About: *G. STEVE, no dates.*
Notation on G.; "Gus"
About: *Melvina STRIVE, died 16 July 1889.*
Notation on Melvina says; "Born in Lakeland", "Died of Scarlet Fever"
I have checked and none of these graves are marked. BUT, these people are all buried together in the same "Lot", as if they are family. They are buried in Block 1, Lot 41. Gus is the Father and his actual name most likely is August or Augustus. Looking up census records might be one way to find out about the wife of Augustus or Gus Steve. Then "Marriage Records" would be the next step in finding the maiden name of of his wife.
