Ask the Cemetery caretakers about the stone they may have of a record of
when it was replaced and ask them about the Monument Makers in the area.

Then contact the Monument Makers and see if they have a record.

Clues are important, even small ones.

This is oblivious, You do have a time of death, so it will be later, But the
STYLE is important.
Is it contemporary with Stones having a later date or was it a copy of the
older stone. If it is a newer stone design then you can get a general idea
of when it was made.

You have a photo, include a copy with your inquires.
